Autobiography Citron Vanille is an Eau de Parfum. Citron Vanille opens with Citron, Bergamot, Lemon, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Pink Pepper, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Autobiography's Citron Vanille carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Citron Vanille is a divisive little number. For some, it's a fresh, uplifting lemon and vanilla dream, especially for summer. For others, it's a cheap mosquito repellent clone that misses the mark entirely. You'll either love it or regret the tenner you spent.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, aromatic profile makes it excellent for casual wear and sports, as well as being generally inoffensive for an office setting. However, the strong citrus and fresh character mean it's unlikely to suit more formal occasions, which demand something darker or more sophisticated.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Imagine a burst of zesty lemon and bright bergamot, sharp and invigorating, settling quickly into a rather clean, slightly creamy vanilla. The initial citrus punch mellows, allowing the subtle sweetness of vanilla to emerge, underpinned by a whisper of earthy cedar and sandalwood. It's a predominantly fresh and aromatic scent, with a touch of woody depth that keeps it from being too fleeting. The vanilla adds a soft, almost dessert-like quality without becoming overtly sweet.
