Chinotto

Chinotto is a small, bitter Italian citrus fruit native to the Liguria region. The fruit produces a distinctively bitter, aromatic, and complex citrus note with herbal and slightly medicinal undertones.

In Italy, chinotto is the base for a beloved bitter soda drink. In perfumery, chinotto adds a sophisticated, adult bitterness to citrus accords that feels more refined than simple orange or lemon.

It pairs well with other citrus, herbs, and aromatic notes.
