Fleurs de citronnier

Airy lemon blossom and neroli float over soft honeyed tuberose, resting on a musky, slightly resinous base of iris and styrax. Clean, transparent and gently warm, it wears like a silky citrus floral veil close to the skin.

Scent Development and Character

A luminous citrus floral built around airy lemon blossom and neroli, gently sweetened with honey and creamy white tuberose over a soft musky and slightly resinous base of iris and styrax. The overall impression is clean, transparent and breezy, with a mild warmth that turns the lemon flower into a silky, skin‑like aura rather than a sharp citrus peel.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best in spring and summer for daytime, office and relaxed social settings; its gentle projection also suits close‑contact situations and year‑round indoor wear for those who enjoy soft citrus florals. Most suitable for spring and summer; can be worn in mild autumn and in winter indoor settings if a soft citrus floral is desired. Sillage is Soft to moderate sillage: it forms a close, clean aura around the wearer rather than a projecting trail. Longevity is Moderate longevity: typically about 6–8 hours on skin, with the citrus floral brightness softening into a musky, lightly resinous veil.
