WoodyTangerine
Tangerine is a citrus fruit whose essence is obtained by cold expression of the peel, a process that preserves the fruit's brightness and freshness. Its citrus profile stands out for a sweet character and a slightly floral facet, less acidic than other citrus fruits of the same family. Used mainly as a top note, it brings luminosity and roundness to citrus, floral, and aromatic compositions.
Tangerine, citrus and floral sweetness in perfumery
Tangerine is a citrus fruit whose peel undergoes cold expression to extract an essence rich in odorous compounds. This mechanical process, which does not involve heat, preserves the full olfactory profile of the fresh fruit, with its characteristic brightness and its most delicate nuances. The essence obtained is commonly used in perfumery.
Tangerine's olfactory profile stands out within the citrus family for its pronounced sweetness and its character, less acidic than other citrus notes. A slightly floral facet runs through its perception, giving it a roundness and warmth that sometimes bring it close to light floral notes. This sweetness makes it a particularly appreciated citrus for sun-kissed, enveloping compositions.
In fragrance composition, tangerine is used mainly as a top note, where it provides a bright, sweet opening. It integrates into classic citrus accords, fruity florals, and aromatic compositions, where its natural sweetness contrasts pleasantly with sharper or more bitter notes to create a dynamic balance.
Its floral facet also allows it to interact with white flower or orange blossom notes, enriching floral bouquets with a fruity, sun-kissed dimension. Tangerine thus contributes to compositions evocative of warmth and lightness, rooted in a Mediterranean or tropical aesthetic depending on the associations chosen.
