Agruma is best understood as a bright daytime companion for someone who wants citrus without the sharp bite of an aromatherapy cleaner. The opening delivers lemon and lime, but the Granny Smith apple rounds them out with a crisp, juicy softness that keeps the first impression friendly rather than clinical. Freesia and orange blossom enter soon after, lending a white floral lift that feels airy and transparent. This is not a heavy statement piece.
