Citrus

The fragrance family

A world of citrus

A citrus composition may suggest fruit newly cut, the aromatic oils of its rind or the atmosphere of an orchard in the sun. Herbs can sharpen its outline, flowers soften it and woods give it a dry, elegant foundation. Its defining quality is the prominence of citrus itself, even when the surrounding composition is layered and complex.

The family has a distinguished connection with the eau de cologne tradition. Johann Maria Farina created his Eau de Cologne in 1709, with citrus—and particularly bergamot—central to its character. That heritage continues to inspire perfumers, who reinterpret the interplay of clarity, aromatic freshness and understated refinement in increasingly individual ways.

At RichandLuxe, explore citrus fragrances for more than an opening sparkle. Notice whether you are drawn to the softness of mandarin, the tartness of grapefruit or the distinctive elegance of bergamot, then discover what lies around it. Our signature formats offer time to appreciate those differences and find a freshness that feels beautifully personal.
