Petitgrain opens bright and waxy-green — citrus-adjacent but with a bitter-leaf quality that keeps the opening from becoming generic.

By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens bright and waxy-green — citrus-adjacent but with a bitter-leaf quality that keeps the opening from becoming generic. Lemon and mandarin orange follow with their expected brightness before the composition turns in a different direction: frangipani arrives with a creamy, heliotropin-like sweetness, coconut milk softens everything to sun-warmed skin, and sea notes open the middle register to something airy and coastal. Tiare flower — related to gardenia, with similar white-floral creaminess — reinforces the tropical arc in the base. Cashmeran and musk bring the trail down to a close-skin warmth. A sunny, honest tropical composition from one of Brazil's oldest pharmacy-heritage houses: unpretentious and well-made.
