Eau de Citron Noir
Eau de Citron Noir by Hermès is an unisex eau de cologne from 2018 in the premium price tier. It opens with lime, lemon and grapefruit, moves into black tea and smoke and dries down to vetiver and guaiac wood. Expect around 4 hours of wear, and it projects softly.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lime Sharper and greener than lemon. Reads a bit tropical, a bit barbershop.
- Lemon Clean, sour, instantly recognisable. Bright but burns off fast.
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
Heart
- Black Tea Dry, tannic and smoky. More astringent than green tea.
- Smoke Charred and dry. Adds drama fast.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
