Our opinion The most interesting fragrance based on lemon aldehydes. It is rather expensive, but is rarely used in its pure state: it is always better to dilute it. Precautions for use Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in children under 6 years of age. Very photosensitizing essential oil, do not expose to the sun within 10 hours of its application to the skin. Irritating to the skin in its pure state, to be diluted for dermal use. Oral use is strictly contraindicated during pregnancy. Risk of drug interactions, not for internal use without medical advice. Risk of allergy (limonene): take care not to overdose in mixtures. An elbow test is recommended prior to any skin application (min 48 hours before use). Avoid contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of young children. Store away from heat and light.
