A l'Ombre des Citronniers
Fragrance notes
Character
Fresh mint and bright lemon open the scent with a clean, immediate lift. Orange adds a soft roundness to the citrus, while elemi resin introduces a faintly peppery edge that keeps the start from feeling like a simple kitchen fruit bowl.
Osmanthus brings a gentle apricot tone that sits close to the skin. Fig lends a milky, green depth that feels more like the leaf than the ripe fruit. Together they create a floral heart that is quiet rather than showy.
Cedar provides a dry, pale wood that anchors the later stages without turning heavy. White tea contributes a soft, slightly bitter freshness that lingers in the background. The base feels airy and transparent, more like a memory of wood than a solid plank.
A terrace lit by string lights after a warm evening meal suits this fragrance perfectly. The air is still mild, the table is cleared, and the scent rests lightly on the skin as conversations continue and glasses are refilled.
