Água de Citrus
Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot fuse into a single sun-bright citrus flash that feels more candied than zesty, the oils pressed rather than squeezed.

By the editors · 2 min readLemon, grapefruit and bergamot fuse into a single sun-bright citrus flash that feels more candied than zesty, the oils pressed rather than squeezed. Freesia steps in within minutes, its watery green-floral stem softening the citric bite while violet adds a cool, mineral iris-like dustiness that keeps the heart matte rather than juicy. Vetiver emerges early, carrying a clean, blond smoke that drags the citrus sugars across a bed of dried grasses; labdanum’s dark, resinous warmth thickens the base without overt sweetness, letting the scent finish as dry citrus-wood rather than typical cologologne musk. Projection stays polite, an arm’s-length whisper for two hours before settling into a skin-warmed vetiver glow that survives morning commutes. Best worn spring through early fall when humidity can amplify the violet’s airy lift.
