Powerful, even violent, very impressive nose and completely natural! This powder doesn't look like some of the powders made with poor quality citrus fruits, often not washed and badly dried and which have an unpleasant soapy odour. Ours is an exceptional powder, made of specially selected fruits, picked when fully ripe, washed, finely peeled and whose the zests have been extensively and gently dried in the sun before being made into powder. The dominant odour is of course lemon and lime, but with sweet notes evoking candied citron zest. It has a beautiful camphor and menthol odour, evoking eucalyptus, with a spicy touch reminiscent of ginger. This product is a fresh-tasting delicacy.
