Citric Santa Eulalia for women and men

A nice citrus scent like a lot of others but nothing like Tom Ford, where the neroli, Rosemary and the Angelica are more loud and prominent.
A pleasant scent, a perfect cologne type of parfum with citruses.
Not long lasting, after an hour/two stays close to the skin.
It is nice, nothing special, not groundbreaking (in the world of citruses), and overpriced.

As you can see, people find this is comparable to Neroli Portofino, 4711... the eau de cologne style of fragrance where neroli and petitgrain make a large appearance. However, this perfume has neither and yet it does more than hint at a neroli/petitgrain component. Interesting.I would say it is more tart and citric (like the name implies) than Neroli Portofino. It is pleasant but not unique.

Citric has that classic 4711 feel, though based on the reviews, it resembles any number of aromatic citruses. I get neroli even though it isn't listed as a note. The moss and cardamom add something spicy and borderline sweaty in a way that's not unpleasant. It's not terribly original, but there is a faint dirtiness that sets it apart, albeit only marginally, from similar fresh fragrances.

Somewhat typical niche citrus, but made with good ingredients.
Sparkling start, but the heart follows in an hour with a gourmand-ish vibe which is the best part of this perfume and the only one which sets this one apart from others that I know.

Dry-down follows soon in around three hours.
Sillage is not beyond 2-3 feet and afterwards its a skin scent. However the skin scent last for about 6-8 hours depending on the day and activity of each person.

Would I by this one again... I cant say, I think each one to his own and I dont want to discourage others because its a beautiful start and a beautiful heart.

Blind buy worthy? .... If you like citrus.... yes!
Wish it had good projection.

This is almost an identical clone of Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, with slightly improved performance. It doesn't smell bad per se, but it really lacks creativity.

3/5

Amazing that no one has yet made the comparison...

I suspected and I was right. A refined version of Eau Sauvage (EDT). One of my faves since childhood.

A bright fresh sweet green citrus with a touch of yellow florals and slight dusty herbal impression. A touch lighter in the heart which as in Eau Sauvage can sometimes come across urinic this fortunately doesn’t.

At first I was worried that as an EDP it was underwhelming but I realise it is somewhat anasomic. After two days of use I get wafts 6 hours in which I certainly would never get from Eau Sauvage.

So as much as I hate saying it is 1) a better version of a classic for me 2) a classic i.e timeless proper old school.

As it is I am very happy and I will likely buy another bottle over the EDT version of ES. Good value and even the bottle is reminiscent of the classic ES bottle.

I think this is the best CITRUS fragrance ever made.

I prefer Nio overall, but like a CITRUS FRAGRANCE, this beats Nio, neroli portofino, renaisssance, bergamote 22 etc.
..

this is by far the best CITRUS in the niche game

This is a real stinker for me

It has a accord in it that reminds me of animalic side of yellow florals, which I despise and cannot stand

It has some quality lemon, but overall I just hate the smell, perhaps it is the aldehydes used here

Another niche cousin to YSL Y

5 hours or so longevity I would guess and fair projection, but I am not sure , because I ran away from it haha

This is an excellent well blended citrus that actually lasts. I would say it is one of the top level frags in its group. I actually get a lot of neroli here even though it is not listed in the notes. Packaging and presentation are top notch. The only downside is this scent is a near twin of Rituals No. 17 Vetiver & Bergamot (which I also consider to be heavy in neroli). Rituals is discontinued though, which is unfortunate since it was cheaper and one of the best neroli's in my collection.

Is really the best citrus EVER MADE?? I have never tried it..

It's better than nio?

I feel like this is one of the most underrated fragrances

This is like if Xerjoff Nio and Lira had a baby...then Baccarat Rouge and Neroli Portofino had a baby..and those babies grew up and had a baby together :)

Agree with below review, however I don't get lime luckily

A Refreshing Lime and lemon. Not metallic, and very calming comparing to summer scents. A sophisticated greenish citrus.
