Hermès Eau de Citron Noir

Created by Christine Nagel and released in 2018, opens with a burst of fresh lemon. However, the addition of black tea and smoky guaiac wood introduces a darker, drier edge, elevating it beyond the typical citrus cologne experience.

In terms of performance, it offers decent longevity, lasting around 4 to 7 hours on me. The sillage is soft to moderate, becoming more noticeable early on and then gradually fading as it settles closer to the skin.

The positive aspects of this fragrance include its unique smoky-citrus vibe, which is clean yet not monotonous. It’s also easy to wear. For those who enjoy their summer fragrance with a bit of an edge, this fragrance has a mysterious dark vibe.

The negative feedback I’ve heard is that it lacks mass appeal, and some people claim it has a strong odor similar to body oder when they squint hard enough.

If you’re looking for a loud projection or an intensely fresh lemon scent, this fragrance might feel too subdued or slightly dry for your taste.

Overall, Hermès Eau de Citron Noir presents itself as a sophisticated citrus fragrance with a darker twist.
