Who said citruses were short living top notes? Definitely I would not say so about distilled lemon.
Zingy fresh, sharp and vibrating beautiful lemon lasts for ages.
I tried it in chypre natural perfume, oh my, you have to be very careful with this performer. It lasts proudly in the blend. 24 hours later distilled lemon was still there on the strip!
This material is completely different from expressed lemon and does exactly what you expect from fresh lemon in the formula.
I understand now why Mandy Aftel prefers distilled lemon where lemon is required.

I was pleasantly surprised by this distilled lemon oil from Sicily. Compared to the raw, expressed oil, this material’s odor is sharper, more intense, aldehydic and slightly terpenic, with a citric richness as exists in high-quality citronella and verbena oils. While this product may be somewhat harsh, I find it characterful, recalling carbonated lemonade soft drinks. My thanks to Hermitage Oils for introducing me to this intriguing and unusual product, which I will use creatively.

You can’t go wrong with this, there is literally nothing not to like about it! It’s as if the distillation process has preserved the oil. It seems slightly sweeter than expressed lemon oil does yet its still fresh and zingy and true to life as you’d expect, I’d choose this over expressed lemon oil for perfumery any day.

Beautiful, bursting and joyous. This one is my favourite citrus scent from Hermitage, the Bergamot is also wonderful. A few drops will brighten your composition.

Very clean. Opening this bottle is just like squeezing a freshly sliced ripe lemon in your hand.

I love distilled citrus oils! They smell like citrus peel, while cold-pressed oils always have a note of fruit juice. And this lemon lived up to my expectations. It is drier and more tart, brighter and more powerful than pressed lemon oil. In addition, the resistance of distilled citrus oils is slightly higher than that of pressed oils-based on my personal experience, at least.

Delicious clean lemon, fantastic top note. Like the other citruses offered, this is especially clean and pure in character. I’m not detecting any harsh notes.

Brightness in a bottle, zingy, juicy, fruity. Might be in the top 3 of my fav citrus eo, it’s fizzy and just pops. With pink pepper wild and ginger eo, you might just have a carbonated drink in your bottle. Store in a fridge though, after 1 year stored at 12°c it’s still considerably less fuzzy than a newer oil.

That’s a delicacy! This FCF Lemon is so beautifully pure that at some point it reminds me of May Chang or Verbena. It definitely reminds me of fondant sweets in chocolate wrapped in colored foil, which we hung on the Christmas tree as children. I think it will be a significant element in my work, I can imagine it in so many combinations that I don’t know where to start. And once again – thanks for the FCF Lemon!

Smells oh so fresh. The most perfect, natural, happy lemon scent you can imagine. Almost floral in its natural sweetness. Differs from the Lemon 4-fold concentrate, which smells like tart, sugared candies (lemon drops) even in dilution. If you have to pick only one, pick this one; it is so happy! Plus it’s calorie-free. =) Lovely with vanilla or Opoponax.
