What does Citizen For Women smell like?

It opens with petitgrain, black currant, lavender and mandarin, moves into orange blossom, lavender and jasmine, and dries down to musk, ambergris, cedar and Madagascar vanilla. The result is aromatic and clean up top with a warm, sweet-woody finish.

Is it a floral or a fougère?

It is classified as an oriental fougère. Lavender and citrus dominate the top and heart, while the base is musky, ambery and vanilla-sweet, so expect herbs and woods more than a bouquet of flowers.

Is it too masculine to wear?

Lavender and cedar give it a unisex feel, but orange blossom, jasmine and vanilla keep it soft. It suits anyone comfortable with aromatic scents, regardless of how it is labeled.

How long does it last?

There is little detailed feedback on longevity. Musks, ambergris and vanilla in the base typically hold longer than the citrus opening, so expect the fresh top notes to fade first and the warm base to linger.

Is it good for everyday wear?

Yes. The clean lavender-citrus opening and soft musky base make it easy to wear during the day. The vanilla and ambergris base also carries it into the evening.
