Italian lemon petitgrain is a distinctive fragrance note that can be derived from natural sources or created synthetically. Natural versions often come from specific plants, flowers, or materials, while synthetic versions can replicate or enhance natural scents.

Citrus notes are typically bright, fresh, and fleeting - they provide the initial sparkle in a fragrance but evaporate quickly.

This note appears most commonly as a top note, suggesting it has bright, immediate characteristics.
