Citron

Citron is a large, knobby citrus fruit that brings a sharp, zesty, and slightly bitter freshness to perfumery that is more complex and less sweet than lemon. In fragrance, citron has a bright, clean character with green and slightly herbal facets.

It is the ancestor of many modern citrus fruits and carries a certain ancient, Mediterranean elegance. Citron pairs beautifully with other citrus notes for layered freshness, with aromatic herbs for a green freshness, with woods for sophisticated depth, with florals for bright contrast, and with vetiver for earthy grounding.
