Laevo Limonene is a naturally occurring terpene found in citrus peel oils. It offers a bright, fresh lemon-like citrus aroma and is widely used in fragrance formulations, air fresheners, cleaning products, and industrial applications.
It functions both as a fragrance ingredient and a natural solvent, helping dissolve aromatic materials and improve diffusion in finished products. Its clean citrus character makes it ideal for creating fresh, uplifting, and vibrant scent profiles.
Laevo Limonene blends well with citrus, floral, herbal, and woody notes and is commonly used in perfume oils, incense fragrances, air fresheners, and cleaning formulations.
