The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by DS&Durga, a niche perfume house known for its handcrafted essences, Italian Citrus offers a fresh and vibrant experience. Created by perfumer David Seth Moltz, the fragrance opens with bright citrus notes that evoke the sun-drenched groves of Italy. The composition then transitions into a warm musky base, balanced by soft florals and green accords, creating a harmonious blend of freshness and depth.
Italian Citrus has moderate longevity and sillage, so aim for a couple of sprays to capture both its citrus freshness and warm base notes. It pairs well with daytime activities but can also carry you into the early evening without overpowering.
