What does Citrine (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

It opens with pink pepper, ginger, orange and Sicilian lemon, a spicy citrus burst with a faint resin edge from elemi. The heart brings mimosa, rosewood and gaiac wood, soft and floral-woody. The base of myrrh, beeswax, musk and ambergris settles it onto a smoky, resinous ground, and the overall impression stays fresh, green and woody.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close and noticeable without filling a room. Voters place it mostly in leisure, business and daytime wear, with evening a close follower. Its unisex build suits any wearer. Le Galion Cuir and Etro ManRose have a close profile.
