Citrus Notes
are bright, fresh, and invigorating. Citrus fragrances are typically made using essential oils extracted from the peel or fruit of citrus trees, such as lemon, limes, orange, grapefruit, and bergamot. They are often used in summer and daytime scents, as they provide a refreshing and energizing effect. The use of these essential oils as top notes in perfumes is common, as they create the initial scent impression that is immediately noticed upon application. These oils are known to evaporate quickly, which is why they are often blended with other ingredients to produce a more sophisticated and long-lasting aroma. Art Life activates your senses, raises your energy and stimulates your creativity with a composition filled with Citrus, Neroli and Tonka.

'Oriental' Notes aka Ambree
The term 'Oriental' historically referred to a fragrance family that included notes like amber, sandalwood, coumarin, orris, vanilla, cinnamon and gum resins in the perfume world.
