Exotic Citrus Fruits
Note Profile
About
Exotic citrus fruits is a Parfumo category note for the citrus outside the Mediterranean set, yuzu and kumquat and their kin, rather than for one fruit. Trade profiles of those fruits agree on the shape: bright and tangy like any citrus, with a floral and herbaceous edge that lemon and orange do not have.
Scent Profile
Exotic citrus fruits covers yuzu, kumquat and their kin rather than one fruit. They share a bright, tangy citrus character with a floral, herbaceous edge that lemon and orange do not have. That green, leafy facet is what sets them apart. The fruit itself can be sweet, with a faint hint of vanilla or white flowers and a light tropical undertone in some blends.

Origin
Not a single material. Parfumo files the term under their broader citrus fruits node and gives no odour prose of its own, only that 2 perfumes carry it and that it ran from 2008 to 2019.
Usage in Perfumery
Thin and dated. Parfumo names 2 perfumes. In Patio Flor de Pimienta it stands beside bergamot as a separate top note, which is a house treating it as something bergamot is not. In Ulric de Varens Tropical Sun it is the whole top, over coconut, rose, violet and passion fruit.
