The note is intensely citrusy, with a sharp, zesty, and slightly sweet character reminiscent of lemon and lime. It's bright, effervescent, and uplifting, possessing a clean, almost astringent edge. The projection is potent, often dominating the opening of a fragrance. Longevity is moderate as a top note. It is volatile and sparkly, with a somewhat synthetic, candied citrus peel quality when used in high concentrations. In lower concentrations, it has a fresher, greener aspect.
