Citrathal

Citrathal is a refined citrus aromatic ingredient prized by perfumers for its crisp, luminous character and ability to lift compositions with effortless zest and brightness.

Citrathal delivers a bright, clean‑fresh citrus bouquet weaving the zesty sweetness of lemon peel, lime zest and fresh citrus herbaceousness, layered with subtle green foliage facets. At higher concentrations it can reveal nuanced lemon‑balm and delicate herbal citrus peel nuances, making it perfect for lively top notes and refreshing fougère or cologne composition.

Whether crafting a signature cologne rich in fresh citrus or enhancing floral and herbal accords, Citrathal adds a sparkling, contemporary edge that evokes lemon verve and luminous freshness.

Givaudan describe Citrathal as being one of the more chemically stable citrus materials.
