Fleurs de Citronnier

I've been looking for several Spring/summers now. For MY perfect or really good Lemon Blossom Parfum. This is very close. BEAUTIFUL Lemon Blossom! This scent in really nice. It can be worn. Very well by both men and women. Interestingly, on males it more of a lemon musk. On women more of a lemon floral (blossom). Very lovely scent. It's pretty linear. Which is what I wanted. It smells wonderful from start to finish Silage is good for a citrus type scent, longevity is ok. Not beastly or long compared to many of the other Lùten's. But, lemony citrus with a light floral usually aren't. This is a very pleasant scent. Not offensive in anyway. I would recommend maybe applying some lightweight or dry coconut oil or something like that. After your shower and before applying this perfume. It does help with the longevity. I purchased the 3.3 oz bottle of Fleurs de Citronnier. Then added 2 ml of Sergé Lùten's Datura Noir, let it set for about week to meld. Perfecto! For me I needed a little more of that Lùten's floral DNA in the Fleurs de Citronnier perfume. Since Datura Noir has that DNA and the lemon Blossom as well. I just figured why not? It didn't change the scent of Fleurs de Citronnier. Just boosted the floral notes a tad. It also boosted to the silage and longevity. Now, I have the perfect Lemon Blossom Parfum I was searching for. I think it's a great investment. You get a great quality, beautiful perfume for a reasonable price.

This was love at first sniff for me. My very first impression was that it smelled like frozen lemonade, which was very refreshing. The lemonade slowly morphs into a very beautiful lemon blossom, a note I've only recently become familiar with. Combined with neroli and the initial lemonade made sweet by just the right amount of honey to avoid being cloying, the middle bursts open like late spring, when all is in bloom. The musk supports it all, cloud-like and clean, and with the help of iris, creates a powdery effect with a touch of woodiness. As for the other notes, I haven't been able to identify them precisely, but whatever they are there to do, they are doing it well. Do not expect impressive sillage. This is more of an intimate skin scent as it settles down. As far as longevity goes, it's moderate and about what I would expect from a light fragrance like this. It's more like an eaux than a proper EDP. I don't know how it compares to the one in the older bottle. The notes are the same, so unless the quality of the ingredients has declined, which is entirely possible under current ownership, I can't see there being much of a difference. Since I never tried that version, I'm quite pleased with what I have. Uncle Serge is starting to represent as a brand in my collection!

Perfect personal fragrance, translate that as minimal longevity, especially of the exquisite lemon flower top note. I'm going to spend a fortune hunting down that elusive scent, carried by the breeze through the southern California orchards just outside of La Jolla...way back in the day before the 10 lane freeway. The Citronnier captures it perfectly, but it's gone before it can be truly savored. Little sillage to speak of. Not being able to walk behind myself, I gauge it by walking down a hallway, then circling back. Is there a scent? Ixnay. For that alone I rate it as over priced; first sprays in the morning, refreshing at noon and again at 3. Ouchie. Les fleurs do persist on my skin and clothes as a beautifully soft and calming aroma. Wonderful at the end of a long day at work. In love with it just now, but I'll soon see the level dramatically lower and rotate to another favorite, saving the experience for another round.

Beautiful revitalizing citrus. Summer scent perfection. To all the uneducated saying this is a clone of Neroli Portofino, no, it's not. Fleurs de Citronnier has been around since 2004 and changed bottles to this format in 2019, while Neroli Portofino didn't even exist until 2011. If you like this fragrance I also suggest checking out Petit Matin, Gris Clair, and Santal Blanc.

Starts off with Lemon Blossom, Neroli with a touch of sweetness from the honey. Drys down with a good dose of white musk. Lasts about 6 hours on skin.
