Citron d'Erable

The quiet hum of an early morning kitchen where lemon and maple syrup blend seamlessly on a warm pancake, enveloped by the scent of freshly cut wood.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Citron d'Erable by Atelier Cologne was launched in 2016 as a Woody Aromatic fragrance for both women and men. This scent is built around the contrast between zesty citrus notes and warm, earthy woods. The opening with lemon and mandarin orange gives way to the unexpected sweetness of maple syrup and black currant, creating an intriguing tension that evolves into a base of eucalyptus, maple, sequoia, and cedar. This composition captures the essence of a distinctive moment, merging vibrant freshness with comforting warmth.

How to wear it

Citron d'Erable has a strong opening that fades within two hours. To ensure you capture its full depth, apply it generously to pulse points in the morning for an all-day experience. The base notes will gradually emerge as the day progresses.
