Trust us - even citrus fragrances promise great complexity and depth, especially when blended with quality ingredients. Everyone should have a citrus in their fragrance repertoire - for its cutting freshness, its fleeting luxury, and its ability to bolster one's mood instantly. Citrus notes are highly volatile, and while that makes for sizzling and energetic wear, this means that they're quick to dissipate. Making the most of the situation - this is an opportunity to treat citrus colognes like refreshing tonics, to be sprayed on abundantly and frequently. However, modern interpretations anchor these fleeting notes with functional fixatives for added longevity.

Six citruses — from the classical to the complex. Everyone needs one in their wardrobe.

Freshly hand-filled to order, these 1ml glass vials are large enough for several proper wearings.

Editor's Notes

This sample pack is a fruit bowl of mixed citruses. A most traditional category, reminding us that classical fragrances were at one point in time based upon this style, splashed on abundantly.

Azemour Les Orangers (Parfum d’Empire) is all about the gloriousness of not only the orange fruit, but the magnificent tree - inclusive of stems, leaves, twigs, and wood. Its beautiful burst of citrus fruit is garlanded with green tones as well as earthy ones, built around a chypre complex of spices and moss for impact and realism. Turn to the beach with Falling into the Sea (Imaginary Authors), which draws upon floral and fruit notes to build up a central citrus feature. The result is pure white sand and foamy ocean waves - a gentle solar feeling thanks to lychee, lemon, and grapefruit, with a faint florality.

Note de Yuzu (Heeley) hits the high notes and sustains them, offering a delightfully sour and bitter opening nuanced with piney, earthy, dusty impressions that rapidly softens with a hint of honey-sweet mandarin, whilst a salt note makes the citrus smell like a more intense version of themselves. While the logic of Orange Star (Tauer Perfumes) is that of contrast: offer the brightest and fizziest medley of twinkling orange citrus fruits – a luminous supernova. Such freshness is reined in by a delicious paste that could almost call to mind caramel, smoked with incense to make it all the more impactful.

Musk-laced freshness, creamy and bitter - Pomelo Crush from Heeley offers unquestionable citrus freshness: the sharp ring of grapefruit, rind, pith, and cellular flesh, softened brilliantly, floralised and green with rhubarb and lemon verbena. All-day wearing.

And to conclude, Bergamask (Orto Parisi) pushes citrus-and-musk to its limits. Ultra-modern in style, the fleeting spicy freshness of bergamot and mandarin is alloyed with a monolithic cocktail of musks, sandalwood synthetics and extremely powerful ambrocenide and javanol – a dry woody-amber molecule that could almost mimic the sharp textural effect of bergamot. The combined result is a metallic sheen which glosses over the composition; reflective, sharp, and above all else, long-lasting freshness.
