Hedione

Elizabeth Arden

My Fifth Avenue opens with violet leaf and a spray of citrus — lemon, mandarin — cut through by an ozonic freshness that feels deliberately urban, as if the composition wants to smell of air conditioning and steel.

Lancôme

Oranges Bigarades — part of Lancôme's Grands Crus collection, perfumed by Christophe Raynaud — opens with a layered citrus chord: sweet orange and bergamot provide brightness while bitter orange adds depth and a slight astringency that keeps the opening from reading as candy.

Hermès

The pear note that opens Hermessence Muguet Porcelain is not sweet — it lands cool and slightly green, like the air before a spring rain.

Dior

Jules 2016 opens with the assertive green of galbanum cut with dry herbal notes — an opening that declares itself as a masculine structure with roots in a certain era of perfumery.

Azzaro

An intensified take on the original Chrome's marine-aromatic blueprint.

L'Artisan Parfumeur

Le Chant de Camargue is Alberto Morillas working a rice-milk accord — Paradisone, Hedione and a creamy lily-of-the-valley effect — over Calabrian bergamot.

Dior

Sakura opens with a cool green note — not exactly grassy, more like the faint scent of the air around spring branches before the blossoms are fully open.

Goutal

A fruit-and-petal whirl that doesn't try to be more than it is.

Calvin Klein

The 2008 CK One Summer leans into the aquatic-fresh template with mint and watermelon at the front—cold and slightly sweet, cucumber reinforcing the sense of something just pulled from ice.

Natura

Brazilian acerola cherry arrives first — tart, sun-bright, and distinctive against the more familiar bergamot and lemon.
