DESCRIPTION

Lemon FCF Essential Oil, produced by Capua 1880 from lemons grown in Calabria, is a premium raw material for perfumery, aromatherapy, and cosmetics. Obtained by cold pressing the fresh peel and subsequently processed through a molecular evaporator to remove colour, eliminate furocoumarins (FCF), and dewax the oil, it preserves the vibrant freshness and natural character of freshly harvested lemon while offering greater formulation versatility.

Its olfactory profile is characterised by a bright, juicy, and radiant citrus freshness, with intense nuances of freshly grated lemon peel, fresh lemon pulp, and delicate green notes, supported by a subtly sweet base that provides greater balance than many other lemon qualities.

Compared with the Lemon ORG from Biolandes available in our catalogue, appreciated for its deeper colour and more natural, vibrant, and slightly greener character, Capua 1880 Lemon FCF offers a cleaner, more linear, and more stable olfactory profile, making it particularly suitable when maximum olfactory precision and greater flexibility in cosmetic applications are required.

PERFUMERY

In perfumery, Lemon FCF Essential Oil is one of the most versatile citrus raw materials for the creation of hesperidic, aromatic, fougère, and floral accords.

Its brilliant freshness immediately illuminates the composition, bringing openness and transparency without becoming excessively sharp or acidic. Thanks to its particularly well-balanced profile, it integrates naturally into both classical and modern citrus and woody fragrances.

From a formulation perspective, it shows excellent affinity with bergamot, mandarin, petitgrain, lavender, rosemary, Hedione®, white musks, vetiver, and woody materials, enhancing the brightness, diffusion, and naturalness of the accord.

Compared with Lemon ORG, often chosen to emphasise the authentic and vibrant character of organically grown lemons, Capua 1880 Lemon FCF stands out for its cleaner, more uniform, and more refined performance, making it especially appreciated in fine fragrance and formulations where maximum olfactory reproducibility is required.
