Agrumes v. (Martin de Candre)
lemon, grapefruit, bergamot
How do you keep a citrus scent from smelling like Pledge? Perfumers will sometimes tuck a bit of basil in with the lemons and bergamot. It gives the fragrance depth and roundness and creates the impression of green leaves and tree sap. Martin de Candre's
Agrumes is a very nice citrus, but I don't smell any herb. I sort of miss it. Without that touch of greenery, citrus walks a fine line between freshness and cleaning fluid.
