The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Fleurs de Citronnier by Serge Lutens was launched in 2004, crafted by perfumer Christopher Sheldrake. This Oriental Floral fragrance opens with lemon blossom and petitgrain, creating a fresh and vibrant top note that is both crisp and aromatic. The heart of the scent is dominated by tuberose and honey, adding a rich sweetness and depth to the composition. The base notes of musk, iris, and styrax provide a powdery and slightly earthy finish, grounding the fragrance with a subtle warmth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance sparingly at first — the vibrant top notes are particularly bright and can be overpowering if used too heavily. The scent evolves beautifully over time, so allow it to settle for an hour or two before reapplying as needed.
