Fragrances can be classified by certain olfactive families, or themes, or accords.Please view all the other guides on the Fragrance Families I have written.

In this guide I will briefly discuss the Citrus theme.

Citrus, also known as hesperidic, have the familiar, fresh, crisp scents of lemons, oranges, tangerines and grapefruit peels, as well as the more exotic of scents of bergamot, petit grain and neroli (orange blossom). Eau de Cologne is the classic citrus scent. Citrus notes are generally found in men’s colognes and women’s sporty type perfumes or colognes. There are subdivisions of classifications in this family and they are:floral chypre citrus, citrus spicy, citrus woody, citrus amber, and citrus aromatic.

Perfumes & colognes that are classified as Citrus are:

• Monsieur de Givenchy
• Armani
• Eau Sauvage
• Eau Fraiche by Christian Dior
• Eau de Patou by Jean Patou
• O de Lancôme by Lancome
• 4711
• Eau de Rochas
• Eau de Courreges
