Orange Terpenes
Naturals Top Note CAS 68647-72-3
A fresh juicy sweet orange note that is bright and straightforward with the immediate lift of pressed peel. It is the volatile hydrocarbon fraction left when orange oil is concentrated and is dominated by limonene, so it gives a quick burst of orange that fades fast.
