Tarte Au Citron
Fragrance notes
Character
Tarte Au Citron opens with bright bergamot and green violet leaves, joined by a lift of cardamom that adds a fresh spicy edge. The citrus feels clean and immediate, while the violet leaves give the top a slightly cool, leafy character that keeps the opening from leaning too heavy. Cardamom brings a gentle warmth that starts to bridge the gap toward the heart of the fragrance.
Vanilla and cedar take over with a soft, woody presence, supported by cypriol and orris that add earthy and powdery dimensions. Ambrox Super lends a modern, slightly smooth texture that helps the vanilla feel less like a dessert and more like a structured accord. The heart stays aromatic and warm spicy, with the cedar keeping the sweeter elements grounded and the orris contributing a refined, dry floral touch.
Sandalwood and amber build a warm, resinous base alongside musk, while pear adds a quiet, fruity softness that rounds out the drydown. The overall profile stays woody, powdery, and citrus-forward, with sweet and aquatic accents appearing beneath the surface. It fits a walk through damp leaves and cold air, when warm spices feel welcome against the skin. The scent suits someone who enjoys vanilla framed by cedar and cypriol. Musk and amber.
