A fragrant material derived from the oils of Citrus Reticulata fruit peels, Tangerine Terpenes are less sweet than their essential oil counterparts. These terpenes lack the “dry” character of mandarin derivatives, instead imparting a citrusy and aldehydic note when used in perfumery. Tangerine is often used as a modifier within citrus-based flavors, particularly in the US, where orange and lemon-like combination flavors remain a large part of the soft drinks industry.
