Geek Chic
7.1Le Parfum Citoyen · 2017
Fresh · Green · Sweet
Le Parfum Citoyen Geek Chic is a fresh, green fougère for men, with a sweet and spicy side that softens its herbal character.
It opens with tarragon, basil and rosemary, which give a green, airy start, while mandarin orange adds a light brightness. In the heart, lily of the valley, aniseed, geranium and neroli come forward; the aniseed brings a spicy touch and the geranium keeps the green going. The base settles on cedar for a woody footing, with benzoin and vanilla turning it resinous and sweet, and tonka bean deepening that softness. Fresh, green and woody accords lead, with the sweetness staying in the background.
