The inspiration of the fragrance:
October, 1175, Calabria, Italy
"In Medieval Calabria, a family gathers to celebrate a good harvest. Within a cabin built of Palm leaves and other woody branches, an aromatic bounty is presented. The citrusy scent of the Etrog citron, a regional specialty, brightens the air while embracing Myrtle and lush Date Fruit envelope the sweet warmth of the Mediterranean night."
The main notes of the fragrance are the following: Cedrat from Calabria, Myrtle, Date Fruit and Vetiver. L’Etrog was launched in 2012. L’Etrog was created by Rodrigo Flores-Roux and Yann Vasnier.
My husband smelled my wrist shortly after I applied L'Etrog today and said, "mmm...reminds me of Europe." Mind you, he never saw the description of this fragrance beforehand, and I never told him a thing - - not even the name. He hit the nail on the head with this one. The fragrance is so natural and so evocative of warm locales in Europe.
At the beginning, the sweet, warm dates present themselves with the cooling, camphor-like myrtle and the piquant citron. The citrus is the star of this fragrance and lasts throughout the entire wearing. The fragrance is not linear, but it does not change too much once it settles in. The vetiver and continuing citrus hang out for the remainder of the wearing.
This is a beautiful fragrance. I'm having trouble coming up with words that can appropriately describe how gorgeous it is. You simply have to wear it. As for the unisex aspect, I think it can be worn by both. I'm a lady, and the sweetness of the dates help L'Etrog feel more feminine but not so much that it cannot be worn by men. So many men's citrus fragrances are sharp and stinging. It's nice to come across a softer one.
The air of the Medieval Italy... I am not an amateur of citrusy scents but here it is not a SCENt but a SCENe. You really feel yourself in the depth of this eternal family night garden, in its dark airy oils, in its calm harmony wraping your soul… and something “medievally” mystique vaguely alerting your heart… It is natural to recommend this scent to night summer party. But I prefer to recommend it to… sunny midday siesta in big city as well as for sunny frosty day of winter. Fantastic contrast in soul’s imaginarium is guaranteed… On me the scent is very close to the skin, deep, profound and very personal, with outstanding longevity.
