Description
With bright, juicy, orange-peel-like, and highly citrusy at the front and sweet zest, fresh peel oil, and a light terpenic trace emerging later, Limonene (Orange Terpenes) offers a clear two-stage profile.
Its role is to clarify aromatic structures and add lift without supplying a complete accord on its own; that is particularly useful in orange accords. With Limonene (Orange Terpenes), the orange & zest effect is most useful when it strengthens the intended accord rather than drawing attention to the raw material itself.
Its limitation appears at higher levels, where the result can become terpenic, thin, or cleaner-like. A blotter establishes direction, but the finished base shows whether Limonene (Orange Terpenes) is supporting the formula or beginning to obscure it.
Details
Limonene (Orange Terpenes)
CAS: 8028-48-6 / 68647-72-3
Odour (decreasing): Characteristic Fresh, Citrusy Odour
Uses: Used very extensively in perfume compositions as a refreshing top-note, particularly in the large-volume type of fragrances for household products, where the Citrus-odour is desirable or at least compatible with the product and the purpose. It may give lift without giving a true Orange character, and it can therefore be used in a multitude of fragrance types, including floral types from Jasmine to Lavender, and in Pine, aldehydic, woody, fruity or green odours. In detergent perfumes it is often found together with Benzyl acetate. It has the added advantage of being colourless. It is often annoying to introduce an intensive yellow or orange colour when cold-pressed sweet Orange oil is used in Citrus fragrances.
