Pure Oil: Cedrat
Production: Cold pressed from the fresh fruit of citrus medica Linn.
Origin: Sicily
Use in Perfumery: The fruit is similar to a lemon but larger and has a thick sweet smelling skin. The aroma of the oil is unmistakably lemon in quality but it is more floral, sweet and softer than even the finest Sicilian cold pressed lemon oil. The sharpness expected from citrus oils is reduced – a very clean citrus oil that invokes an early Mediterranean summer.  Useful oil for the citrus floral palette in fine perfumery.
