The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Julien Rasquinet for Creed, Citrus Bigarade is a modern interpretation of freshness and aromatic vibrancy. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of Italian lemon and mandarin, paired with the green freshness of petitgrain paraguay, creating an invigorating top that feels like a burst of sunlight. As it settles, white pepper and ginger add a subtle spiciness, while mint brings a cool, refreshing edge. The base notes of Haitian vetiver ground the composition with earthy warmth, making this fragrance both energizing and comforting.

How to wear it

For best effect, apply Citrus Bigarade to pulse points — it's bright enough to energize but fades within an hour. The vetiver base note will linger closer to skin, so a second application midday can keep the freshness going through the afternoon.
