Citrus Perfume & Fine Fragrance
Perfume Guide - Perfume Categories - Citrus

Citrus
Citrus oils, known to perfumers as "Hesperidia", are the key elements in this family that includes all "eaux fraîches", popular amongst the more traditional fragrance houses such as Annick Goutal, Guerlain and Acqua di Parma.

These perfumes contain predominant notes of citrus and fruit oils, including lemon, orange, peach, apricot, lime and grapefruit. They tend to be light, juicy and tangy fresh without the sharp quality of a Fresh Green Fragrance. Fresh Citrus scents were amongst some of the first Eau de Colognes to be created as they contained some of the most potent and easy to extract essential oils. Recently they have enjoyed a resurgence with the ever popular, revolutionary and enduring CK One for men and women and the reinvention of more traditional eau fraiches, such as Guerlain Fleur de Cedrat.

Citrus perfumes have grown in number and depth for both men and women and now include floral and spicy notes to add depth and olfactory flavour, transforming these often linear fragrances into full creations.
The light and fresh character of citrus notes such as bergamot, orange, lemon, petit grain and tangerine is enriched by aromatic, woody and spicy accords. These include Acqua di Parma Colonia Assoluta, and Thierry Mulgler Cologne, both wearable and unique choices that take citrus scents to the next level.


Citrus Fragrances include:


Other Citrus Fragrances:

 

Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance. Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
