By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens with a green-bitter citrus leaf, more woody-twig than juice, joined quickly by bergamot and mandarin in the broader citrus arrangement. The opening is fresh, dry and slightly austere.
Pink pepper sharpens the heart with a peppery sparkle that holds the citrus alive longer than usual, while vetiver begins to surface beneath. The middle is short and transitional rather than developed.
Labdanum and musk close the scent with a soft warm resin under a clean musk, giving a quiet ambered finish without sweetness. Overall this is a clean citrus-aromatic with a faint resin warmth, restrained and modern. Best in warm weather and office or casual day wear.
