Product description

Lemon BIO by Damascena is a 100 % pure essential oil with a fresh, powerful and unmistakably lemony fragrance. It is obtained by cold pressing the fruit peel of Citrus limon. Its bright citrus character suits room fragrancing and provides a zesty opening in individual fragrance compositions. The current batch comes from Italy; the oil is bottled by hand in Switzerland.

Lemon and its aromatic peel oil

The characteristic fragrance of this essential oil comes from the fruit peel. Damascena uses lemons from certified organic cultivation. The label on the supplied bottle confirms Italy as the origin of the current batch.

The oil is obtained by cold pressing. Unlike oils obtained by steam distillation, this lemon essential oil is extracted mechanically from the peel. According to the supplier, approximately 200 kg of peel are needed to produce 1 kg of oil.

Fragrance profile of lemon essential oil

The fragrance is fresh, lemony and powerful. Its zesty character recalls the aroma of freshly opened lemon peel. The clear citrus note adds a bright accent while remaining immediately recognisable as lemon.

Damascena classifies the essential oil as a top note. In fragrance compositions, it therefore shapes the initial impression in particular. It can form the citrus centre of a blend or give herbal, floral and woody notes a fresh opening.

Lemon in fragrance compositions

Fragrance partners named by the supplier include lavender, verbena, fennel, juniper, eucalyptus, rose geranium, hyssop and angelica root. Lemon essential oil can therefore be combined with a variety of herbal, aromatic and floral facets.

Linaloe wood, cedar and Swiss stone pine complement the bright citrus character with woody or coniferous notes. In these blends, lemon creates a zesty contrast to the warmer or drier background.
