Kumquat

Kumquat is a tiny citrus fruit that is eaten whole, peel and all. The scent combines bright citrus zestiness from the skin with a sweet-tart juiciness from the flesh.

In perfumery, kumquat adds a unique, full-bodied citrus note that is more complex than orange or lemon because it includes both bitter peel and sweet fruit character. It pairs with other citrus, tropical notes, and light florals.
