Top 10 citrus perfumes

More specifically, it is my personal top 10 citrus flavors. The thought of it spinning in my head already half a year. I suddenly realized that the hot sun orange and bergamot green light - this is what I love most in perfumes. Chypre - by itself, aldehydes - by far, but the most exciting for me - this is their first citrus notes. They locomotive pulling the entire composition into the distance, into the sky, in the long jump.

At first I thought to do something like a landmark work "10 citrus flavors that everyone should try ...", but then I realized I did not want to explain who owes what to whom. I want to talk about why I love these ten flavors. And so it is necessary to try them or not is up to you.

Eau de Cologne Fraiche love because it is beautiful and because it helped me to understand what I want, what I was looking for and rejoice in perfumes. Eau de Cologne Fraiche - it is not any particular citrus, is a carnival, fireworks, country fair and fashion show of citrus. It beautiful bergamot, juicy orange, Lemoncello and snack sweet tangerine, and next dry and tough verbena.

Sous Le Vent Guerlain can not be considered exclusively citrus, as it and peaches and delicate jasmine and lots of moss, but two-thirds of its beauty - a great, amusing and explosive bergamot. We are talking about vintage. The best modern incarnation of Sous le Vent - New York Parfums de Nicolai.

Eau Sauvage Christian Dior - the first citrus fragrance with light from gediona. Then these luminous, filled with air citrus become common place, but no one repeated fury and ease Eau Sauvage. I like the way Savage was reflected in Diorella in Eau Absolue Mona di Orio. They are for me now tightly bound, so go one point.

But Lux Mona di Orio is a separate line. At first it surprised me. Not only did gerlenovsky colognes with lovely citrus? And then froze in memory as incense in the tomb of the pharaoh. I can not wear it for years, but clearly remember every stirring of the thick, slightly waxy smell of crusts, butter, zest, citrus pulp, of verbena leaves and branches of orange trees.

Eau de cologne Imperiale Guerlain would be nice to know for the overall development, because it is the oldest of the existing flavors. It duality of grapefruit, which can be optimistic and sweet-and-bitter tonic, strong alcohol and herbs. And I love it for its ability to clean the cookie, delete temporary files and reboot the system.

Oranger en Fleurs Houbigant in toilet water - it's a great story about the dismemberment of orange tree. Hands-on labs. Plus a very good styling antique. The perfume Oranger en Fleurs brighter, but there is not the fruit, there is about colors.

Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine - is a simple, emotional story. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. A day in the life of an orange. The striking resistance to citrus composition, in part, why Atelier Cologne ousted from my heart beautiful but volatile Arancia di Capri Acqua di Parma.

LM Parfums Vol d'Hirondelle - my personal sensation of the summer. Citrus ice and ice with citrus. Exciting game for kinestetika.

Frédéric Malle Cologne Bigarade I have in store for him, I have a hundred years did not fit. But this is not necessary. I remembered him, and at the very thought of it on the back shivers run, and appears in the mouth astringent bitterness.

You can hunt Pour Monsieur, you can give up and look for something more in a vintage classic or cutting-edge niche. Interesting citrus flavors were there, but the subject is still fascinated perfumers.
