Citrus

Citrus

Bright peel, morning rind, the cold zing of lemon held to light.

Citrus is the morning of perfumery — the first note your nose catches when a fragrance opens, the bright cold note that wakes the rest. Squeezed peel, the oil that sprays into the air when you twist a lemon, the rind under your thumbnail. It is uncomplicated by design: a clean shock of yellow and gold meant to brighten everything that follows. Citrus accords appear in nearly every fresh fragrance ever made because they do one thing well — they say *this is alive, this just happened*.
