Perfume Parlour Citizen is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Citizen opens with Mandarin, Petitgrain, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Perfume Parlour's Citizen carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on YSL Libre - the signature smooth lavender married to orange blossom and jasmine over a musky-vanilla base. Citizen captures the confident, modern floral DNA but renders it flatter and skin-close, with less of the original's refined radiance and trail.

About

Citizen opens fresh and aromatic with lavender, mandarin, petitgrain and a tart lift of blackcurrant - the recognisable Libre signature. The heart deepens into orange blossom, more lavender and jasmine, the herbaceous-floral tension that gives the original its modern, confident character, before a base of musk, ambergris, cedar and Madagascar vanilla lends a soft, sensual warmth. The original Libre carries six to eight hours with moderate, balanced sillage; this Perfume Parlour interpretation keeps the lavender-floral DNA but renders it more two-dimensional, with the aromatic-floral heart pushed forward while the musky-vanilla base sits thinner and fades faster to the skin. It is a versatile, elegant choice for the office, dates and evenings, delivering the Libre mood without the designer price.
