How we scored it

CosIng description confirms botanical leaf extract (this site's convention 1.0); the given formula/mw/iupac (C222H230N14O23S2, 3526 Da, indole-benzoxazole structure) are clearly mismatched to an unrelated compound and were disregarded per INSTRUCTIONS.md.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Extracted from the leaves of lemon (Citrus limon) by solvent or aqueous extraction. No synthetic alternative route; the record's formula/mw/iupac fields appear to be a database mismatch.

In plain English

A fragrant extract from lemon tree leaves used in perfumed products. Note: the underlying data record has a mismatched chemical formula that doesn't belong to a leaf extract, so it was ignored.

CosIng definition: Citrus Limon Leaf Extract is an extract obtained from the leaves of the Lemon, Citrus limon (L.), Rutaceae
