CITRON (CÉDRAT)

Citron, also known as cédrat, is Citrus medica, a citrus fruit valued for its aromatic rind. In perfume it suggests fresh, zesty peel rather than one fixed recipe. The fruit’s aroma varies: botanical observations describe a lemon-like smell in one variety and violet-like nuances in another. These are examples of citron’s range, not facets that every perfume must reproduce.

Citron peel supplies natural fragrance oil. One documented supplier material begins with cold-pressed peel and is then further processed, while a perfume-house interpretation combines the citron theme with spices and woods. These examples connect the fruit to perfumery without making all versions identical. The name identifies neither a particular cultivar nor the exact extract in a fragrance. Explore it for aromatic citrus freshness, looking at the surrounding notes for a greener, spicier or warmer setting.
