Our verdict on de Citron Noir: Favourite

This one's a divisive modern citrus. Expect a stunning opening that gets everyone talking, but be warned - it settles into a more generic base for some, and the performance is a hot topic. A love-it-or-hate-it marmite scent, but never boring.

Its fresh, energetic, and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and invigorating sport use. Despite being an Eau de Cologne with varied performance, the sophisticated citrus-smoke blend makes it appropriate for dates, though less so for formal events where more gravitas might be desired. Some find it perfect for the office, appreciating its subtlety, while others note its eventual generic drydown could be less suited to professional settings.

About

Eau de Citron Noir opens with an electrifying, juicy burst of authentic lime and citron, sharp and invigorating without smelling like a cleaning product. As it settles, a smoky black tea note emerges, adding depth and a sophisticated edge, preventing it from being 'just another citrus'. Guaiac wood weaves through the drydown, providing a subtle woody warmth that grounds the composition. It's a clean, dark citrus journey, with moments of radiant freshness and contemplative smokiness.
