L'Erbolario Citrus is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Citrus opens with Buchu, Blood Orange, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Red Apple, Cyclamen, Ylang-Ylang, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Rosewood, Blackcurrant, and Lemon Leaf. L'Erbolario's Citrus carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This is a truly happy scent, a burst of energetic citrus for hot days. It's a shame it doesn't stick around longer, but its mood-boosting power is undeniable, making it a summer staple for many.

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

L'Erbolario Citrus opens with an invigorating splash of vibrant grapefruit, sharp lime, and zesty blood orange, instantly waking up the senses. As the initial citrus blast mellows, a juicy blend of red apple and pear emerges, softened by a whisper of creamy ylang-ylang. The dry down settles into a subtle, clean hint of lemon leaf and a touch of blackcurrant, maintaining its fresh, airy feel.
