About

Citrus peel oils in a light, drinkable-smelling wash. Despite the name it is not an aquatic note. The water is the eau of an eau de cologne, not the sea.

Scent Profile

Citrus Water is bright, zesty citrus, like fresh lemon and orange juice rather than peel oil alone. A tart sourness runs through it, the edge that makes it read as juice rather than just zest. A touch of neroli gives it a light white floral lift, setting it apart from a plain citrus note. Underneath sits a faint green rind edge and a crisp, clean lift, with nothing watery or marine about it.

What is ScentArt?

Origin

An eau built from citrus fruit rather than a single extract. Its historical anchor is the oldest surviving eau de cologne formula, made by Giovanni Maria Farina in 1709: lemon, orange, bergamot and neroli oils dissolved in grape spirit. Premiere Peau files the term under Citrus Smells and tags it citrus, fresh, fruity.

Usage in Perfumery

Used as a top note and as a whole-fragrance idea, in colognes and in light summer compositions where the brief is freshness rather than depth. It carries the opening and then hands over, since the sharpness softens as it evolves.
