Series 4 Cologne : Citrico
Fragrance notes
Character
Comme des Garcons Series 4 Cologne : Citrico opens with a slap of bitter citrus, all neroli and bergamot and the sharp rind of an unripe lemon. It is not sweet. That initial burst is almost aggressive, a green and aromatic freshness that quickly softens into a whisper of rosemary and the faint, powdery iris that gives the whole composition a dusty, vintage counterpoint. Beneath it all, a dry sandalwood and cedar skeleton holds the line, but only just. The overall character is that of a single lemon peel dropped onto sun-baked concrete: bright, acrid, and gone before you can really smell it properly.
This is uncompromisingly niche, a synthetic skeleton dressed in natural-dyed linen. It feels like a minimalist’s meditation on freshness rather than a crowd-pleasing spritz. The numbers do not lie. Longevity hovers around two hours, and sillage is a polite murmur that asks to be leaned into. Why would anyone pay for a ghost? Because sometimes a ghost is exactly what you want.
Citrico suits the person who loves the ritual of reapplying, who sees fragrance as a fleeting moment rather than a statement. It belongs to the hottest afternoons of July, worn with a white shirt that will never stain. Skip it if you demand projection or crave sweetness. This is a spritz and a sigh, nothing more, and that is precisely its quiet, vanishing grace.
