Dossier Citrus Marine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023. Citrus Marine opens with Citrus, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Pepper, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Oakmoss, Incense, and Amberwood. Dossier's Citrus Marine carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

If you're after a budget-friendly dupe for a classic, this might just hit the mark, though opinions are sharply divided. Some smell a fresh, citrusy marine dream, others are getting an odd savoury note that sends them running for the hills. Proceed with caution and certainly try before you buy.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

About

It kicks off with a bright, zesty burst of citrus - think grapefruit and mandarin - that’s quickly undercut by a salty, bracing marine accord, like a splash of the open sea. As it settles, a peppery juniper note emerges, adding a crisp, aromatic edge before drying down to a surprisingly warm base of amberwood, with a subtle whisper of smoky incense and earthy oakmoss. It's a modern, light scent, designed for daylight hours.
