Odor description: citrus-floral, fresh, grapefruit, pomelo, with neroli nuances

A versatile aroma molecule from IFF, naturally found in orange blossom oil. Despite a name that suggests a fully floral character, in its isolated form it reveals a fresh, bitter-citrus face — closer to grapefruit and pomelo than to sweet, neroli-like florality — and it is precisely this surprising duality that makes it such a valuable tool in modern perfumery.
