Alexandria Fragrances Citron del Mar is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2017. Citron del Mar opens with Salt and Fruity Notes, settles into a heart of Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Sea Water, Woody Notes, and Musk. Alexandria Fragrances's Citron del Mar carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This salty-sweet citrus bomb is a solid alternative to a well-known niche fragrance, delivering a refreshing burst that performs admirably. It's a crowd-pleaser for good reason, offering a bright, beachy vibe without veering into generic blue territory.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Citron del Mar bursts open with a juicy, fruity sweetness, quickly followed by a bracing, briny salt accord that evokes coastal air. Bright lemon and bergamot add a tart, sparkling zest, smoothed subtly by iris and orange. As it settles, a clean, woody marine base emerges, underpinned by a soft, long-lasting musk that retains a fresh, airy quality.
