Kumquat
The note presents a vibrant, effervescent burst, immediately striking the senses with a complex duality. It possesses the bright, zesty sharpness characteristic of citrus peel, yet this is beautifully counterbalanced by a distinct, slightly sweet-tart juiciness reminiscent of the fruit's pulp. There's often a subtle, intriguing bitterness underlying the initial brightness, adding depth and preventing it from becoming overly simplistic or sugary. Its texture feels almost sparkling and clean. As a fragrance component, it typically behaves as a top note, providing an immediate, uplifting impact, though skilled blending can sometimes extend its presence into the early heart phase. Its projection is usually moderate to strong upon application, quickly diffusing its cheerful aroma, while its longevity is characteristic of a citrus, requiring reinforcement from other notes to persist.
