Understanding the material
IFF documents a cold-pressed Spanish lemon oil made from fruit peel. A lemon note in a finished perfume does not establish that this oil is present: other materials and refined grades may contribute to the effect. Expression, distillation and subsequent processing can produce different profiles even within the same fruit reference.
Compare lemon with bergamot and lime. Focus on peel character, juiciness and green facets rather than calling all three simply fresh.

Continue with Bergamot, Lime, Mandarin. These connections are comparisons for studying finished fragrances, rather than mixing instructions.
