Citrus Ananas
Fragrance notes
Citrus Ananas from Lotus Cosmetics London does not manage its sweet side well. The opening bursts with pineapple and apple, bright and loud, but the sugar feels heavy and a little blunt. Bergamot and cassis try to lift the top, yet the fruit stays candied rather than crisp. Sandra L C composed this 2018 release, and the structure follows a familiar path that many shoppers will recognize immediately. The heart brings jasmine and patchouli, with birch adding a sharp edge that should dry the blend, but the floral note leans powdery and the patchouli feels flat. It reads more like a counter scent than a careful niche blend, and the balance never quite settles.
The base continues the same pattern. Amber and moss give a warm, earthy floor, while musk softens the edges, but the sweetness from the fruit lingers and keeps the drydown from feeling clean. This is a fragrance for someone who enjoys bold fruity accords and does not mind a synthetic lean in the middle. If you prefer dry citrus or subtle florals, this will feel crowded and loud. It suits daytime wear in warm weather, where the fresh opening can breathe a little. The white floral and musky accords sit closest to the skin by the end, leaving a soft, powdery trace built around jasmine.
