Citrus

Freshness with an architectural role

The olfactory idea

Citrus fragrances use familiar peel-like effects to create brightness and lift. Their openings may feel effortless, but balancing that opening with the rest of the composition requires careful construction.

Understanding the craft

Lemon, orange, grapefruit and bergamot suggest different citrus directions. Other materials can reinforce freshness after the most volatile parts of an opening become less apparent.

Explore it for yourself

Evaluate a citrus fragrance beyond the first spray. Its identity may shift toward herbs, woods, flowers or musks as the opening settles.
