When you smell it
Top notes: the first minutes.
What perfumers do with it
Adds sunny sweetness to citrus accords and gourmands; bulks up colognes cheaply.
Worth knowing
Roughly 95% of the oil is limonene, yet the real 'orange' smell comes from trace aldehydes like decanal and sinensal.
Rules
Limited. Limonene-rich: peroxide (oxidation) specification applies
