Perfume Parlour Citrus Muse For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Citrus Muse For Men opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Perfume Parlour's Citrus Muse For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A budget take on Xerjoff Casamorati's Mefisto Gentiluomo - the same bright grapefruit-and-citrus opening over a powdery violet-iris heart and cedar-musk base. Citrus Muse captures that fresh-yet-elegant character but the citrus reads less natural and it fades faster, missing the original's refined polish and longer wear.

About

Citrus Muse opens crisp and energising: a dominant grapefruit lifted by lemon and bergamot with an aromatic touch of lavender - the sophisticated citrus signature of Xerjoff Casamorati's Mefisto Gentiluomo (2018). The heart turns gently floral and powdery with violet, iris and a whisper of rose, before settling onto the Xerjoff-style base of cedar, musk and soft amber. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures that fresh-to-powdery elegance well, with the same clean grapefruit brightness up top. Compared with the original, the citrus reads a fraction more synthetic and less juicy-natural, and the whole composition is a touch flatter, missing some of Mefisto's refined seamlessness. Longevity is moderate - the original itself drew mixed reports, from ten hours to skin-scent in an hour. The effect is clean, refined and versatile - a polished citrus aromatic that flatters across three seasons. Best in spring, summer and milder autumn, it suits the office, casual wear, daytime and easy dates.
