Our Citrus base has notes of bergamot, lemon, orange and grapefruit.
This base provides a great start to a light, fresh perfume. Now that you
have selected the perfume base that you would like to use, it is time to pick the additives to add to this base. The additive groups, or families in the diagram above work best with the Citrus base. Select aroma additives from the families listed at the bottom of this page.
Additives help you create your perfume individuality and character.
Our additives are formulated for the perfumer to allow many different
fragrance possibilities using the same base. Uniqueness in perfuming is
created by using many different aroma additives in your perfume.

AC - Aroma Chemicals. Think of this group as the basic elements or parts. They are more one dimensional or flat. Like pieces of a puzzle,they don't make up an entire aroma but are the things that will push the perfume in a direction. Some aroma elements are difficult to smell in the bottle and and may apear to have no smell at all until they are added to the perfume base. Read more about this in the FAQ area.
BB- Aroma Building Blocks. These are the more complex or finished aromas but not complete perfumes in themselves.This group of additives can help define your perfume. Adding just a few drops of an aroma compound can help the body and richness of your perfume.
EO - Essential Oils. These are plant derived. These are generally a single note, like lavender, orange or rose. Many have extremely strong qualities and are diluted in order not to dominate the fragrance. Using essential oils balances a perfume by adidng a natural quality to the fragrance. Most of the citrus essential oils we use have had the turpenes removed. Read more about this on the product overview page.
