Black Citrus opens with a sharp burst of Calabrian bergamot and a cold crack of black cardamom. It is a wet, mineral, and almost industrial start. As it warms on the skin, a dry violet leaf note and green mate tea emerge to temper the initial sourness. The scent eventually settles into a stark, smoky base of birch tar and earthy patchouli. This is not a sunny Mediterranean citrus. It is a rainy, overcast scent made for damp spring mornings or formal autumn office wear. If you want a clean citrus that smells like a wet slate street rather than a lemon grove, this deserves a spot in your rotation. Show less
