Tabac Citron Providence Perfume for women and men

Oh my, my first thought when I applied this was - NOPE. You may ask what's so bad about it on my skin? It opened with citron as the name of the fragrance promises, but this is not the good kind of citron, this is WC refresher citron, this is too clean, too sharp too in my face. What comes next? A tiny bits of bitterness from lavender, I start to dislike this even more, but no wonder as I have never been a fan of lavender. Then there comes the sweetness, but it's overpowered by the "FRESH" and "LOUD" notes of citruses.

Not for me.

I can't say I much liked this. Unlike PP's Rose Boheme, which I have a ton of respect for, Tabac Citron hit me as rather generic, quite short-lived, and, like Rose Boheme, not unisex, but solidly feminine. Like the patchouli in RB I'd love to see pushier, the tobacco here is quite subtle, and not pushy at all. The opening, crisply tart grapefruit was neat - I have to give PP that - and unexpected, but that clears out of Dodge quite quickly and leaves a simple sandalwood and (super light) tobacco base. Nobody will hate this scent - which is not a compliment. I wish PP were willing to push boundaries a bit more, y'know?

Refreshing with lots of bitter citrus to start. Then Tabac Citron morphs into a sweet, lemon grass scent with gently smoky rose that's soft--powdery sprinkles on the core of a white, waxy lemon grass stalk.

Easy going refreshment with an unusual twist of smoky, floral scented fresh woods that's comfortable and cosy to wear.
