Citrus perfumes and eau de parfum

Citrus aromas in perfumery are created on the basis of citrus essential oils - bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit, etc., combined with a note of bitter orange blossom. These ingredients define the main accord of the citrus family. Floral, woody and spicy notes can be mixed with the main accord.

It is in this family that all the first colognes are found, starting ... with “Eau de Lubin” (1798) from Luben, “Gold Medal Cologne” (1799) from Atkinson, “Jean-Marie Farina” (1806) from Roger & Halle , "Eau De Cologne Imp? Rial" (1853) by Guerlain. All aromas in which citrus fruits play the most important role can be divided into subgroups: citrus proper, citrus floral chypre, spicy citrus, woody citrus, citrus with aromatic substances.

The citrus fruits themselves are Eau De Patou from Patou, Eau Folle from Laroche.

Citrus floral-chypre - in them the citrus note remains the main one, but at the same time finds its continuation in the floral accord, in which the marquise of flowers - jasmine, is always present, and these aromas end with a woody or mossy trail. For example, women's fragrances - "Eau De Rochas" from Roche, "De Lanc? M" from Lankom and men - "Bravas" from Shiseido, "Eau De Cologne d 'Herm? S" from Hermes, "Monsieur Lanven" from Lanvin.

Another subgroup - spicy-citrus - in these fragrances frequent ingredients are cloves, nutmeg, pepper, vanilla ("Cacharel Pour Homme" from Casharel, "Super Estée" from Este Lauder).

There are also woody-citrus - these are aromas with the obligatory presence of woody notes, the floral scent is hardly noticeable, but woody notes are distinguished by their special strength. And one more subgroup is a subgroup of citrus fruits with aromatic ingredients such as caraway, rosemary, mint, marjoram (“Eau De Courr? Ges” from Courreges, “Eau Cendr? E” from Jacomo).

All of the above mentioned fragrances were created 20-30 and more years ago, but they still remain loved.
