Olivier introduced the latest perfume in 2011, inspired by the yellow stone Citrine—a symbol of strength, wisdom and peace. Citrine is often called gold topaz, but it has nothing in common with topaz. Citrine actually belongs to the quartz family. Citrine is the stone of Autumn, and it can be yellow, orange, reddish orange and greenish yellow in color.

Citrine is the birthstone for November, and it was named after the yellow lemon whose color it closely resembles. Gems of this color are infrequent in nature. This hard stone with its warm, sunny brightness is traditionally a symbol of hope and strength.

"According to South American shamans, the citrine has the power to consume Man's limits, to defuse his most profound fears and to dissipate all negative energies through its inner fire and glowing celestial energy, aiming at reaching successfully all earthly goals in our conscience. From inner flame to celestial light..."

Top: Sicilian citron, wild orange, elemi, ginger, pink pepper

Heart: carrot seed, mimosa, rosewood, linguum vitae

Base: musk, myrrh, grey amber, beeswax

Available in 100 ml bottles.

The nose behind this fragrance is Olivier Durbano.

Citrine Fragrance Reviews

alfarom

Considering how pretty much all of the other Durbano's creations range from being uninteresting to simply unpleasant (with the exception of Black Tourmaline) I was ready for another disappoinment but, Citrine smells good.

It opens with spicy-peppery notes joined by a huge amount of fizzy citruses. A remarkable resinous undertone is immediately detectable and opens the door to a consistent rosewood note that, IMO, is the true star of this composition. The myrrh, together with other woods get more prominent while slight flowery patterns add refinements and some complexity. In this phase Citrine is not very distant from an hypothetical mash-up between Keiko Mecheri's Olibanum and Comme Des Garcons Palisander. Amber remarks its presence with a tad of sweetness, while hints of citruses provide sparkling undertones throughout.

Good stuff.
