Cedro di Diamante

When I got my sample I knew I must have a full bottle. Normally I am not a big fun of citrus fragrances even I do live in hot Mexican climate but this one is super well done. It’s very fresh and has just a right amount of spices to make the fragrance a bit warm and more masculine leaning. It’s all about freshly squeezed sour / slightly sweet lemons, bit of bitterness coming from lemon zest & ginger soften by small touch of iris with musk. Second most prominent note of this fragrance after citruses is spices (particularly it’s Sichuan pepper with pink pepper (similar to the one used in Amouage Journey Man , just not so overpowering. Surprisingly it is in category of longer lasting fragrances which with citrus fragrances is unique. Another great piece from Perris House!

I generally dislike citrus scents, so I tend to skip these citrus openings perfume like these. But gosh, this is gorgeous. It feels exactly like when you squeeze the lemon peel in the sunlight, the tiny lemon essential oil rays sparkle in the sunlight. The citrus scent is very fresh, like sparkling lemon juice, which feels very natural. I tested this perfume during the winter so the performance is pretty bad (?), and also, I just tried it from a decant so the spray must not be as good as the full bottle. I layered this with Royal Oud from French Avenue and got a really bright and vibrant citrus opening & musky skin-scent dry-down.

Citrus, light spices and wood notes, I love the scent. I enjoy many fragrances from Perris Monte Carlo and this beautiful lemon is no exception. From the Italian line, I still love Arancia di Sicilia just a wee bit more, but both lack the oomph to take them past the 2 hour mark. For a natural scent swoon worthy scent, that is rarely a complaint from me, but I’d be remiss not to mention it. Still, would love to wear Cedro di Diamante more often. Preferably in a warm, sunny, Mediterranean location.

I’ve been hearing that this scent on others lasts 20 seconds. Well on me it lasts between 11-12 hours! Imagine you’re sitting in a cafè at a southern European country in a heatwave. The waiter arrives with your drink: an ICECOLD glass of sparkling fresh lemon water. It’s fizzy, bright and smells EXACTLY like sparkling water. It is SO gorgeous! The citron and lemon together with the peppers makes this fizzing/popping and fresh scent trail and the dry down gets complimented by cardamom. Amazing!

Cedro di Diamante feels like a beautifully done limoncello interpretation. Bright, zesty, and effortlessly refreshing, with that unmistakable Italian elegance. It leans classic in spirit, but the generous use of ambroxan and Iso E Super gives it a more modern, airy lift. The result is clean, luminous, and very easy to wear in warm weather. Performance isn't its strong suit, I get around 3 to 4 hours, but it's so pleasant that I don't mind reapplying at all. A great pick for summer.

Bright sunny limoncello lemons with lime zest. Inevitably not long lasting — a couple of hours on my skin — but really one of the most delightful citruses I know. A lovely musk and oakmoss drydown at the end dodges the white floral that so many lapse into. Highly recommended

In love! Great juicy and zesty citrus (lemon) with bright aromatic (almost minty) and fresh spicy notes. As well as subtle sweetness on the background. I’m a big fan of this brand and most of its perfumes. Follow me on IG: scent.guide

10/10 scent 1/10 performance EDIT: (In fairness I will add that this is the best citrus scent I have ever experienced. But it unfortunately does not last very long. This still has not deterred me from just ordering my 2nd bottle..)

A lovely burst of lemon with an underbelly of spice all tied together in a soft musky bow. Super! Minimal longevity and holds close to the skin...your own personal dip in a lemoncello grove.

I shouldn’t reveal my secret love but this is it!!! I ve got it for me and my boyfriend wears it more than me we are both crazy with it and people compliment all the time

A good, stiff fresh sweet lemonade. Not weighted down with woods. Unfortunately even less longevity than most citrus fragrances. Highly enjoyable for summer.

Fizzy citrus, like concentrated sprite without the sugar, peppery and mossy on drydown, uplifting and imo the best frag in the collection

If anyone knows a fragrance that is exactly similar to this one but with better longevity, please feel free to post or pm me!

Understated lemon with musk, beautiful and alluring, however fleeting and needs to be reapplied regularly

very joyful and exciting scent. im all smiles every time i put it on and i added it to my smile list

Very fresh and transparent citrus scent There are few perfumes that can create an atmosphere with this power of the real scent of lemons, lemon peels and citrus fruits, inviting you to a real, mojito and lemonade. All the top notes and the beginning of the perfume spend about half to an hour in this space until you enter the middle note of the perfume and with the second hit of the perfume, it shocks you, that there is no second notes and of course you don't have a dry down, the perfume starts and ends in The topnotes. It's like you are dreaming of paradise and suddenly you fall from a height and jump out of sleep In perfumes, citrus scents are usually placed on the main column of the perfume, which are the middle and final notes scents, but here the perfume getting established on citrus scents, and the rest of the notes are in the background, so don't be cheated by musk, oakmoss, ginger, and spicy scents. They exist, but not obviously. If you want to look at it as a perfume, you will probably be disappointed, but if you are just looking for a good quality scent that will hit your heart and change your mood when you are bored or tired in summer heat, it is a good choice. رایحه ای مرکباتی بسیار فرش تازه و شفاف بجرات کمتری عطری هست بتونه با این قدرت رایحه واقعی از لیمو و پوست لیمو و مرکبات رو فضای سازی کنه، شما رو به یه لیموناد، موهیتو و فالوده ابلیمویی واقعی دعوت میکنه. تمام تاپ نوت و شروع عطر در حدور نیم تا یک ساعت در این فضا سپری میشه تا اینکه وارد نوت میانی عطر میشید و با دومین ضربه عطر به شما شوکه تون میکنه، این که نوت دومی وجود نداره و بلطبع درای داونی هم ندارید، عطر در همون تاپ نت شروع میشه و تمام. مثل اینکه درحال خواب دیدن بهشت باشید و یکدفعه از یه بلندی سقوط کنید و از خواب بپرید در عطرها معمولا روایح مرکباتی روی ستونی اصلی عطر که روایح نت میانی و پایانی هستن قرار میگیرند ولی اینجا ستون عطر روایح مرکباتی است که بقیه نت ها در پس زمینه اون قرار دارند پس گول مشک، خزه بلوط زنجبیل و روایح اسپایسی رو نخورید. وجود دارند ولی نه در حد سلول های بویایی انسان. اگه بعنوان یه عطر بخواین بهش نگاه کنید احتمالا ناامید میشید ولی اگه صرفا دنبال یه رایحه حال خوب کن و باکیفیت باشید که برای دل خودتون بزنید و روحیه تون رو در بعضی ساعات بیحوصله یا خسته از کار و گرمای تابستان عوض کنه انتخاب خوبیه کاملا یونی سکس و پخش و ماندگاری در حد یک ساعت البته اگه از موندگاری ضعیف چسبیده به پوست صرفه نظر کنید *همیشه معطر و شادباشید*

Perris Monte Carlo Cedro di Diamante is part of the Italy collection and is inspired by the diamante citron fruit. The fragrance is a lovely woody fresh lemon mix, featuring a bit of a lime/verbena sharpness, some spices in ginger/cardamom/pepper, and a pleasant dry down of iris, oakmoss, and musk. The verbena isn’t screechy, nor is the spice blend particularly spicy, so the mix retains a lemon dominance and smells curiously sweet, perhaps via the particular mix, as there are not any overly sweet notes per the note breakdown. Cedro di Diamante lacks the bite of the powerhouse lemon scent of Profumum Roma Acqua Viva, but has some sweetness, so it might be a better option for those who do not want something overpowering or sharply woody but rather a sweet/tart mix with just a touch of creaminess. It’s interesting but easily enjoyable, the lemon staying centered but no other aspect taking over complete. It feels balanced, well conceived. Overall, though, it’s not quite as interesting as Arancia di Sicilia (which I previously tried / also from the Italy collection) but it’s still a very nice lemon scent and could really be an enjoyable frequent wear, particularly in warmer months, so this is a nice option that I’ll have to give some more thought, though upon first wear, it’s slightly more a “like” than a “love”—still, I’d recommend sampling it. Priced at $190 for 100ml like the rest of the Italy collection, Cedro di Diamante is available at Indigo Perfumery (from whom I’d recommend buying it) as well as department stores like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s. 7 out of 10

The perfume counterpart of a 25-euro sparkling lemon water served on the terrace of a very very upscale bar with an amazing view over one of the pricier stretches of the Italian Riviera: expensive, beautiful, exhilarating, shortlived. Was it really worth it in the end? It's sparklingly effervescent, full of lovely lemon and neroli zest, smells absolutely beautifully and naturally clean, fresh and restorative. The little hints of spice are perceptible but not overbearing. Will make you feel classy, crisp and reinvigorated. True unisex and without a hint of the unlovely shades of house-cleaners or cheap white musk which often get thrown into summer citrus scents. Sadly it's also very expensive and just doesn't last on me much past 2h in total on either skin or fabric, with the initial, gorgeously detailed effect only really lasting for under half an hour. So it's extremely pleasant but hideously overpriced at full RRP in my view. A fleeting luxury indulgence, then, but not a workable proposition unless money's no object and you don't mind carting it around in your (probably very expensive designer exclusive) handbag all day.

Very nicely blended Citrus Aromatic with a very tart n' tangy Citrus opening, combining well with the mossy accord and perky spicy mid of ginger, sichuan and pink pepper and cardamom. All of these spices are rather subdued, but manifest within the skin scent as a slightly firey woodiness when sniffed directly. Maybe perky rather than firey. Really beautiful opening. I seem to do well with Citrus Aromatics with prominent Mossy accords, like Moss Cologne by Bornikoff and even To a Wild Rose by Avon, so no surprise I like Cedro di Diamante. The performance is bad, but a natural Citrus Aromatic is expected to do that. Just consider it a skin scent. I'd rather have the naturals than artificial performance boosts of screechy synthetics. The drydown turns a bit musky and woody due to a bit to the Sichuan Pepper and cardamom, but true to its name, Cedro di Diamante must have a cedarwood note. And there should be a "Woody" accord listed, and prominently positioned in the stack. This doesn't look expensive, so just spray a lot and reapply.

Cedro di Diamante by Perris Monte Carlo is truly a wonderful scent that could only be found in the mind of an Italian creative genius. With it's top notes of mandarin, lemon, and bergamot, it has a light and uplifting character. The heart is comprised of moodier notes of cedar and vetiver that somehow find harmony with the light topline. In the end, this fragrance is perfect for any occasion, but especially for someone who has a strong love for the culture and countryside of Italy and wants to express it through scent. As someone close to me recently passed away and loves everything about Italy, I can testify that Cedro di Diamante is the one fragrance that does justice to all the wonderful memories he had of the country. Its deep and powerful character is something that will never be forgotten.
