The smell of a lemon peeled by hand. Bright, edged, gone quickly — like a morning.
Lot MAU-001 is a sample lot, built so you can see how an analysis is read. It is not the measurement of a real batch, and this bottle is not on sale yet. When a real lot arrives, the lot number on the label changes and the figures below change with it.

How it smells
Cold-pressed from the peel with no heat, so it keeps the sharpness that distillation usually loses. Open the cap and limonene rises first — citrus peel, bright — then within a few minutes it gives way to the sharper, sourer citral, and after half an hour only a faint waxy note is left.
This is a scent that fades fast. Don’t buy it to last; buy it to open in the morning.
Because it is cold-pressed it contains bergapten — do not apply it to skin and then go into the sun within twelve hours. The safety page explains why.
