This oil is an excellent flavor material, and does wonders when minute additions are made to a raspberry flavor.
In perfumes, the Terpeneless Lemon Petitgrain Oil will show its tenacity in high-class colognes, and it blends well with neroli oil, sage clary, bergamot, citronellol, cumin ketone, cyclamal, geraniol, heliotropine, hydroxycitronellal, linalool, linalyl acetate, etc. It gives fine topnote effects in muguet, rose, lilac, gardenia, etc.
