Aperol

About

Aperol reads as a bright, bittersweet citrus accord: zesty bitter orange and candied red-orange flesh on top of a green, rhubarb-like tartness and a gentle herbal bitterness that suggests gentian, finished with a fizzy, slightly medicinal soda effervescence. It evokes an Italian aperitif hour—warm terraces, sparkling cocktails and sunlit conviviality. In perfumery it’s used to create sparkling cocktail or aperitivo accords, adding bitter-orange freshness and effervescence to citrus, floral or gourmand compositions; it pairs well with neroli, bitter orange, rhubarb, pink pepper, aldehydes and light woody or ambery bases to lend a modern, convivial bitterness and thirst-quenching brightness.
