Sucking on a lemon and a fig
The opening is sharp like the first lick of sour candy. There is a fruity fig note somewhere but its sweetness is overshadowed by a high pitched lemon that dominates proceedings for a while. This is no Fico di Amalfi, the citron comes first in the title for a reason.
The other notes that slowly creep in as the dry down begins are a subdued combination of cedar wood and musk. Although pleasant there is a strange contrast between the juiciness of the fruit in the opening and this much dryer combo but the clash does not detract all that much from the experience.
There isn’t much else in the way of fireworks here but those looking for a sharp, clean, slightly sweet and uplifting citrus freshie for the summer won’t feel too disappointed with Citron Fig.
