NEST New York Citrine is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Citrine opens with Lemon Blossom, settles into a heart of Dew Drop, Freesia, and Lotus, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes. NEST New York's Citrine carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper mixed bag. Some reckon it's a zesty, clean spring dream, while others are smelling dish soap or generic florals. If you're after subtle and inoffensive, Citrine plays it safe, but don't expect anything groundbreaking.

Woody Notes100%

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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and light character, coupled with generally weak projection and longevity, makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings where you don't want to overpower. It's too subtle for most dates and lacks the gravitas for formal events, though its freshness could suit light activities or sports.

About

Citrine opens with a bright, crisp burst of lemon blossom, instantly refreshing without veering into cleaning product territory. This zesty uplift then settles into a delicate heart of dewy lotus and gentle freesia, leaning into a clean, slightly aquatic floral impression. As it fades, a soft, understated woody base provides a quiet anchor, keeping the whole affair light and airy rather than heavy.
