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 Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and distinctive character make it less ideal for the office, where some might find it too assertive or 'old-fashioned'. However, its elegant, sensual, and unique profile makes it perfect for dates and evening events, while still versatile enough for casual wear if applied lightly.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • 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

Citizen Queen commands attention with an initial aldehyde burst that quickly settles into a rich, velvety powder. Iris and rose lend a floral sophistication, while a subtle, worn leather note adds an intriguing depth, moving far beyond mere 'baby powder'. The drydown softens to a musky amber, punctuated by resins and a hint of vanilla, creating a complex, intimate, and often animalic warmth that lingers on the skin.
