lemon cucumber fragrance

Lemon cucumber fragrance is a synthetic or naturally derived compound used predominantly in the fragrance industry. It exhibits a distinctive citrus odor with fresh lemon and cucumber nuances. This compound is also known as cucumber lemon fragrance and is valued for imparting clean and refreshing scents in perfumery. It does not dissolve in water but is soluble in alcohol, which facilitates its incorporation into alcohol-based fragrance formulations. Detailed chemical data can be found in public databases such as PubChem. This material is typically sourced or synthesized for use in various personal care and household products where a citrus-fruity odor is desired.

Lemon cucumber fragrance is mainly utilized as a fragrance agent to convey fresh citrus and cucumber notes. Although it does not naturally occur in biological sources in significant amounts, its sensory profile is inspired by natural lemon and cucumber aromas. This fragrance is applied in many consumer products such as perfumes, body sprays, and household cleaning agents. IFRA (Global) standards provide guidelines for its use, particularly due to phototoxicity concerns arising from components like bergapten when present. Its use is not approved for flavoring purposes. The compound’s alcohol solubility aids in its application across a range of volatile fragrance compositions.

Physicochemical characteristics of lemon cucumber fragrance notably include its solubility in alcohol and insolubility in water, which influence formulation strategies in fragrance applications. Its volatility and odor profile render it suitable for enhancing freshness in consumer products. The alcohol solubility suggests compatibility with ethanol or similar solvents commonly employed in perfumery. Lack of water solubility limits its direct incorporation into aqueous solutions without suitable solubilizing agents. These properties must be considered when developing fragrance blends to ensure homogeneity, stability, and optimal scent release.

IFRA Critical Effect:
Phototoxicity
IFRA fragrance material specification:
	Where the bergapten (5-methoxypsoralen) content of all relevant oils present in a compound has been determined, it is recommended that for applications on areas of skin exposed to sunshine, excluding bath preparations, soaps and other products which are washed off the skin, the total level of bergapten in the consumer products should not exceed 0.0015% (15 ppm). This is equivalent to 0.0075% (75 ppm) in a fragrance compound used at 20% in the consumer product. Where the level of bergapten has not been determined by appropriate methods, the limits specified in the guidelines on individual oils should apply. In those cases, where such oils are used in combination with other phototoxic ingredients, the additive effect has to be taken into consideration and the use levels have to be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all phototoxic fragrance ingredients, expressed in % of their recommended maximum level in the consumer product, shall not exceed 100.
Recommendation for lemon cucumber fragrance flavor usage levels up to:
	not for flavor use.
