Citrus Perfumes for Every Day

Citrus is the brightest family in perfumery: bergamot, mandarin, grapefruit and lemon, sharp as peel pressed between your fingers, often lifted by a spark of ginger. These scents feel clean, sunlit and effortless, like white walls against a blue sea. Reach for them on warm mornings and on any day that needs a clear head.

Good to know

Do citrus perfumes fade faster than other scents?
Citrus notes are the lightest molecules in a fragrance, so they are the first you smell and the first to go. In these compositions the citrus sits on a base of musk, amber or wood, and that base is what carries the scent through the day. Expect the bright opening to soften after an hour or two rather than disappear.
When is a citrus perfume the right choice?
Warm mornings, offices, travel and any day that needs a clear head. Citrus reads as clean and awake rather than intimate, which makes it the easiest family to wear around other people.
Which Mykonos citrus should I start with?
Sorrento and Inception are the most straightforward citrus compositions in the range: bergamot and lemon over a soft base, with nothing unexpected in the dry-down. Take a 50 ml bottle first if the family is new to you.
