The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1901 by Henry Creed Fourth Generation, Citrus Bigarrade is a lasting fragrance that captures the essence of crisp, fresh citrus. The composition opens with vibrant bergamot and neroli, creating an invigorating aromatic freshness that cuts through any heaviness. As it settles into its base notes of ambergris, it retains a subtle warmth without losing its initial vibrancy. This balance between brightness and depth reflects the enduring quality for which Creed is known.

How to wear it

Citrus Bigarrade is best experienced close to skin; its top notes are bright but fleeting. Apply it sparingly at first to allow the warm ambergris base to come through gradually over time. It pairs well with cooler weather, where the crisp citrus shines brightest.
