Our take

Citrine opens with a bright rush of red fruits, black currant, and plum that feels immediate and slightly tart. The fruit is not sugary. It carries a natural tartness that keeps the entrance from leaning sweet. Cashmere wood and patchouli arrive quickly to give the fruit a dry, textured backing. Leather and amber add weight and a warm, resinous glow that pulls the composition away from freshness and toward something heavier. The shift happens smoothly, with the fruit staying present while the woods and leather begin to dominate the space.

The base brings castoreum and oud that deepen the entire structure. The castoreum adds a musky, animalic edge that feels raw next to the smooth amber and polished leather. Oud contributes a dark woodiness that ties the patchouli and cashmere wood together. The result is a mix of woody, musky, amber, fruity, balsamic, leather, and patchouli elements that feel dense and layered. It suits cooler air and dim lighting, where the plum and currant can sit against the heavier materials without feeling out of place. The fruit lingers as the animalic base grows
