Citric

Amazing that no one has yet made the comparison... I suspected and I was right. A refined version of Eau Sauvage (EDT). One of my faves since childhood. A bright fresh sweet green citrus with a touch of yellow florals and slight dusty herbal impression. A touch lighter in the heart which as in Eau Sauvage can sometimes come across urinic this fortunately doesn’t. At first I was worried that as an EDP it was underwhelming but I realise it is somewhat anasomic. After two days of use I get wafts 6 hours in which I certainly would never get from Eau Sauvage. So as much as I hate saying it is 1) a better version of a classic for me 2) a classic i.e timeless proper old school. As it is I am very happy and I will likely buy another bottle over the EDT version of ES. Good value and even the bottle is reminiscent of the classic ES bottle.

This is an excellent well blended citrus that actually lasts. I would say it is one of the top level frags in its group. I actually get a lot of neroli here even though it is not listed in the notes. Packaging and presentation are top notch. The only downside is this scent is a near twin of Rituals No. 17 Vetiver & Bergamot (which I also consider to be heavy in neroli). Rituals is discontinued though, which is unfortunate since it was cheaper and one of the best neroli's in my collection.

Somewhat typical niche citrus, but made with good ingredients. Sparkling start, but the heart follows in an hour with a gourmand-ish vibe which is the best part of this perfume and the only one which sets this one apart from others that I know. Dry-down follows soon in around three hours. Sillage is not beyond 2-3 feet and afterwards its a skin scent. However the skin scent last for about 6-8 hours depending on the day and activity of each person. Would I by this one again... I cant say, I think each one to his own and I dont want to discourage others because its a beautiful start and a beautiful heart. Blind buy worthy? .... If you like citrus.... yes! Wish it had good projection.

A nice citrus scent like a lot of others but nothing like Tom Ford, where the neroli, Rosemary and the Angelica are more loud and prominent. A pleasant scent, a perfect cologne type of parfum with citruses. Not long lasting, after an hour/two stays close to the skin. It is nice, nothing special, not groundbreaking (in the world of citruses), and overpriced.

I love this citrus, wanted to try it out, but my skin doesn’t like musk at all... So only the opening waa likeable.

Once the bitterness of the opening petitgrain drifts away (I don’t like petitgrain) it becomes a lemony neroli. Without reading about it too much, I’m guessing that’s what ‘lemon verbena’ is. Not too tart, but not sweet and youthful. It’s fine. Nothing unique, nothing special and nothing different. You’ve experienced smells like this before, whether it was a fragrance or a cleaning product. Lemon hand wash soap or lemon wet wipe vibes, but without the chemical edge. A sterile but acceptable form of cleanliness.

Nothing groundbreaking, the same profile as Neroli Portofino and 4711, just a different pricetag and bottle.

This is a real stinker for me It has a accord in it that reminds me of animalic side of yellow florals, which I despise and cannot stand It has some quality lemon, but overall I just hate the smell, perhaps it is the aldehydes used here Another niche cousin to YSL Y 5 hours or so longevity I would guess and fair projection, but I am not sure , because I ran away from it haha

another cologne-like recent, very similar to neroli portofino (more so the forte) and 4711 edc. full of citrus, citrus leaves, and flowers—you get the full experience of the tree with all its phases: the blossom, the fruit, and the leaves. there's a musky base which makes it very uplifting. overall, i think it's more blossomy and floral than citrusy. performance is mediocre as expected with most colognes.

As you can see, people find this is comparable to Neroli Portofino, 4711... the eau de cologne style of fragrance where neroli and petitgrain make a large appearance. However, this perfume has neither and yet it does more than hint at a neroli/petitgrain component. Interesting.I would say it is more tart and citric (like the name implies) than Neroli Portofino. It is pleasant but not unique.

Citric has that classic 4711 feel, though based on the reviews, it resembles any number of aromatic citruses. I get neroli even though it isn't listed as a note. The moss and cardamom add something spicy and borderline sweaty in a way that's not unpleasant. It's not terribly original, but there is a faint dirtiness that sets it apart, albeit only marginally, from similar fresh fragrances.

I think this is the best CITRUS fragrance ever made. I prefer Nio overall, but like a CITRUS FRAGRANCE, this beats Nio, neroli portofino, renaisssance, bergamote 22 etc. .. this is by far the best CITRUS in the niche game

I feel like this is one of the most underrated fragrances This is like if Xerjoff Nio and Lira had a baby...then Baccarat Rouge and Neroli Portofino had a baby..and those babies grew up and had a baby together :)

This is almost an identical clone of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, with slightly improved performance. It doesn't smell bad per se, but it really lacks creativity. 3/5

A Refreshing Lime and lemon. Not metallic, and very calming comparing to summer scents. A sophisticated greenish citrus.

Is really the best citrus EVER MADE?? I have never tried it.. It's better than nio?

Agree with below review, however I don't get lime luckily
