Sparkling Zest CO₂ Wax — Pure, Solid, Uncompromised

Cold-pressed lemon oil is one of the most familiar citrus materials in perfumery. This CO₂ wax offers a different way to work with lemon: extracted from the peel of Citrus limon, it is supplied as a concentrated solid wax rather than a thin, quick-fading oil, with the crisp, sparkling character of freshly zested lemon.

Supplied here in its pure, undiluted, solid wax form — exactly as extracted, with no carrier of any kind added. This is the genuine article for perfumers who prefer to prepare their own dilutions, or who want to work directly with the material in its most concentrated and authentic state.

Scent Profile

A crisp, sparkling and fresh citrus aroma — clean and bright, in the spirit of lemon peel zested into the air.

Perfumery Applications

Because it is a wax, it is best suited to solid perfumes, balms and other anhydrous work, where it brings a fresh citrus lift. It is also a natural choice for citrus colognes and fresh accords prepared as your own dilutions. Introduce it gradually when building a composition.

Usage Note

This wax is solid at room temperature. To prepare for use, gently warm in a water bath at around 90°C to melt it into a liquid, then dilute with your solvent of choice according to your own formulation preferences.

Blending Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with neroli, bergamot, petitgrain, lavender, rosemary, vetiver, cedarwood and soft musks, and with our other citrus materials.
