Honey pomelo

To create the honey pomelo note, perfumers start with fresh pomelo fruit harvested at peak ripeness. The bright yellow rind is washed, sliced, and subjected to cold-press extraction, a method that squeezes the oil from the zest without heat. This yields a clear, citrus-rich essential oil containing 0.5 % limonene and other volatile terpenes. In parallel, raw honey crystals are mixed with a food-grade solvent such as ethanol; the mixture is filtered and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure, leaving a viscous honey absolute that captures the flower-laden sweetness of the honey. Both extracts are stored in amber glass at 15 °C to preserve their aromatic integrity. During formulation, the pomelo oil is added first to the alcohol base, followed by a measured dose of honey absolute. The blend is gently agitated, allowing the honey’s sticky molecules to coat the citrus droplets, which slows their evaporation and creates a seamless transition from bright top to warm heart. The final ingredient is a stable, natural-origin note ready for use in fine-fragrance or cosmetic applications.
