Mediterranean Sophistication: Where Citrus Meets Incense
Italian Citrus divides the fragrance community with its sophisticated take on Mediterranean freshness. This isn't your typical sweet citrus cologne - instead, it offers a complex blend where bitter chinotto and fresh Amalfi lemon dance with cool frankincense and noble oakmoss. While some praise its elegant, adult character and perfect summer-business versatility, others note its moderate longevity and occasional rubber-like undertone. What sets this apart is its unique balance of tart citrus and resinous depth, creating an experience that's more Italian palazzo than tourist beach. The addition of frankincense elevates it beyond simple freshness, though projection remains intimate rather than bold.
