Laura Mercier Eau Gourmande Tarte Au Citron is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006. Laura Mercier's Eau Gourmande Tarte Au Citron carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive, but for those who get it, Tarte Au Citron is a sweet, comforting slice of lemon meringue pie. It's a gourmand through and through, loved by many for its realistic bakery vibe and hated by some for its perceived 'toilet cleaner' harshness.

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

Imagine a freshly baked lemon tart, still warm from the oven. Tarte Au Citron opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly softening into a rich, buttery pastry accord. Subtle hints of pine and star anise add a touch of complexity before settling into a deliciously creamy base of vanilla and praline. White woods and musk provide a gentle, lingering sweetness, making it a truly decadent and comforting gourmand.
