How is Citrus × limon oil used in scented candles and home fragrance?

The oil is used as a soft fresh top note in candles, wax melts, reed diffusers, room sprays and surface cleaners.

Handling

• Typical fragrance load in wax: 3-10% depending on the wax system and the target throw.
• Add below 70 °C to limit evaporation loss.
• Citrus top notes flash off early; anchor with a base note for a longer burn profile.
• Test cold and hot throw on the actual wax before scaling.

The flash point and transport class are stated on the lot-specific SDS, which candle makers need for their own compliance file.
