Citrus, or hesperidic, fragrances open with zesty notes: bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit, yuzu, bitter orange or neroli. These are fresh scents, often chosen for summer, mornings or sport, but niche fragrances give them real depth thanks to woody, musky or amber base notes that extend their longevity. They can be worn by anyone, regardless of gender, and layer easily with other fragrances.
This collection includes, for example, Neroli 30 by Nuages, €150 for 50 ml; Yuzu Fou by Parfum d'Empire, featuring yuzu, bitter orange, mint and kumquat, €120 for 50 ml; Bigarade Concentrée by Frédéric Malle, €225 for 50 ml; Tennis Club by Carner Barcelona, bergamot, petitgrain and neroli, €170 for 100 ml; Pomelo Malindi by New Notes, €180 for 60 ml; and Eau de Gloire by Parfum d'Empire, €120 for 50 ml.
You can sample the entire collection at the boutique, located at 27 rue de Marignan, Paris 8th. For an initial remote exploration, the Scent Matchmaker will suggest the citrus scents that best match your preferences.
