Perfume Parlour Citrusy See You is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1979. Citrusy See You opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Perfume Parlour's Citrusy See You carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Citrusy See You chases Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte - the classic dewy orange-grove cologne of zesty citrus over green moss. It captures that crisp, photorealistic citrus opening well, and since the original is famously fleeting, the dupe's modest longevity is barely a step down.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Citrusy See You opens exactly where it should: a bright, juicy burst of lemon and bergamot with sweet mandarin and a clean orange-blossom edge, the same sparkling citrus that defines the Hermes original. A cool mint thread keeps it crisp and a little aromatic. The heart is light, a soft jasmine giving a touch of floral roundness before the base settles into green oakmoss, dry patchouli and a whisper of cedar - that signature mossy, undergrowth-after-rain backdrop that turns a simple citrus into a refined cologne. Because Eau d'Orange Verte itself is an eau de cologne with notoriously short legs, this budget version's quick fade feels true to character rather than a shortfall. It is flatter and slightly more synthetic in the citrus than the original, and the moss reads thinner, but the overall effect - clean, unisex, summer-morning freshness - is faithful. A grab-and-go scent for hot days, the office, and anywhere you want an uplifting citrus splash.
