Description
“To celebrate Spring, we are very proud to introduce our new creation Citizen X by French perfumer Yan Vasnier.
The first addition to the brand new ICONOCLASTE collection celebrating the individualists and great free thinkers.
Citizen X is the intense ray of light running on your skin that makes you shiver.
A fresh, airy and detonating note, irresistible on the lapel of a Tuxedo jacket.
The spicy freshness of Mastic Tree and White Pepper.
An enveloping and reassuring heart of Iris.
Incense’s woody notes mingle with the sensuality of Musk to blossom into a bold background.
The incarnation of a new contemporary allure.
Official release date is 15 of April” — press release of the brand. Citizen X was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Yann Vasnier.

Lemon-citrus accord with some hints of frankincense and a peppery note. Citizen X is a great name for a perfume, but the composition does not match the audacity of its name.

I’m sampling this for the first time tonight, and it smells like a rather bland but sharp spicy scent on my skin. I’m not a fan. Unfortunately, it seems to have nuclear performance on my skin. I’ve washed my forearm 4 times (about 3 hours after application), and it’s still going strong.

Ozonic, as in L’eau D’Issey, sans melon tone, with transparent Iris.

Really wanted to like this one based on the notes. However, once I got my nose on it, I was very disappointed, because it smells like so many cheap drugstore/designer fragrances. Nothing niche about this fragrance.

Im not impressed. Cheap smelling citrus, mixed with pencil shaving type incense…which I usually love. But no big deal here. Nothing super unique. Not interesting enough for me to ever wear it even if it was $25.
kiman – :
Just a citrus-y, lemon-ish, very slight powder freshy.
I get nothing else, and certainly not any frankincense whatsoever, as another review is claiming (a scent I’m highly attuned to; not even a hint of it), and absolutely nothing new or intriguing.
I hate having to write reviews like this while the devil on my shoulder loves to, because I’m so dang sick and tired of the same damn jam being done over and over again incessantly, BUT, while CLAIMING to be something new and interesting.
For the minor hype-up on this, AND the cost, and for it to smell literally like the cheapest endless line-up of predictable men’s frags at the local deep-discount store…another in the morbidly pedantic mass-appeal citrus freshies…is extremely disappointing.
Three hours with it, no change. SO disappointed that I won’t even bother with the rest of their line.
Sample decant quickly put in the box full of samples stinking up the wicked witch of the west corner of my fragrant basement.

Mm, I’m getting a futuristic vibe from this one, clean and pristine, but still kind of a body scent. The iris combines really well with the resins, and though the pepper and musk are practically invisible, I think they work to keep this from being too powdery. It’s improving with every sniff I take.

I love how it smells exactly like the smoke of frankincense [B. papyrifera], which is much sweeter and milkier than B. carteri (the most common frankincense oil), once it settles on the skin!
