Serge Lutens Fleurs de Citronnier is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Christopher Sheldrake. Fleurs de Citronnier opens with Lemon Blossom, Petitgrain, and Nutmeg, settles into a heart of Neroli, Tuberose, and Honey, and dries down to a base of Musk, Iris, and Styrax. Serge Lutens's Fleurs de Citronnier carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, divisive yet adored. Many hail it as the perfect, natural lemon blossom, while others get cleaning products and an almost 'old motel' vibe. If you're after a clean, natural white floral, this might just be your summer dream, but sample first.

Scent Profile

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.

Its moderate sillage and clean floral-musk profile make it suitable for office and casual wear, particularly in warmer weather. It's too subtle for a formal punch and not geared for active sport.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Fleurs de Citronnier opens with a crisp, bright burst of lemon blossom and petitgrain, spiced gently with nutmeg. It segues into a heart of delicate neroli and a subtle honeyed sweetness, underpinned by a creamy tuberose. The drydown settles into clean musks, powdery iris, and a hint of warm styrax, creating a refined, intimate floral experience.
