Citrus

Italian lemon smells like the precise moment you bite into a sun-warmed Amalfi lemon—bright, zesty, and almost painfully fresh. It's sharper and more nuanced than a generic "lemon" note; there's a subtle creamy sweetness lurking beneath the initial citrus burst, with a faint herbal whisper and a slightly bitter pith character that feels genuinely authentic. Imagine the scent clinging to your fingertips after peeling the fruit, combined with the oily, almost waxy skin of a premium Italian variety.

Italian mandarin orange smells like biting into a sun-warmed fruit on a Mediterranean hillside. It's sweeter and softer than sharp lemon, with honeyed warmth rather than bright acidity. Imagine the juicy, tender flesh releasing its oils—less bitter pith, more creamy-sweet pulp. There's an almost powdery, slightly fuzzy quality, like the bloom on the fruit's skin. It's optimistic and intimate at once: nostalgic of childhood oranges, yet sophisticated enough for an evening fragrance.
