As with most citrus scents, this one is going to be quite polarizing. You’ll either love it or hate it, I find myself in the former camp.
The fragrance opens with lovely fresh, crisp citrus notes. Not specifically lime or lemon, but a nice mix of both. Almost like a lemonade, with a hint of honey and star anise. The florals kick in during the drydown, making it a nice, well-rounded fragrance. The florals might make this more feminine than masculine, but I quite like it.
Longevity is great, I get around 10 hours with moderate sillage.

So much for the desire to add a citrus scent to my wardrobe.
This is a mouldy cellar scent with dominant notes of a household in decline (urine).
Yuk and scrub scrub scrub 🙁

Amazing scent, very true to the real fruit ( Lemon). It feels like you take a bath in the strongest freshly made lemonade, flesh and rind and all. Maybe even a little bit of lemon flower! and sweetend with honey, not with sugar.
A very energetic fragrance, that is truly unisex. The drydown becomes more feminine than the beginning, being sweeter.
The “osmo” technology works indeed, and the lasting power is excellent, especially for a citrus fragrance.
Bottom line: Highly recommended for those who like natural fragrances, without a great deal of complexity.
A pleasure to wear in the warm season, in a casual setting. A mediteranean vacation scent!

This is the most incredible blast of WAKE-UP in bottled form. I first smelled Citron Sauvage during a trip to Hamburg, Germany. They have a fabulous department store there called the Alster House (which is also known as “the Harrods of Hamburg”) with a perfumery section to die for, so of course I spent several hours making sure I hadn’t missed a single thing.
Citron Sauvage isn’t normally the type of perfume I would reach for, but having sniffed it on a tester strip I was soon spraying with abandon. What a zing this one has – such freshness & pizazz! Unusually for a citrus based perfume, I also found this incredibly long-lasting. Most seem to fade within an hour on my skin, which may be why I mostly overlook them as a fragrance family.
Tired? Hungover? Needing an instant spritz of confidence & a healthy glow? Try this – I promise you your eyes will widen and your senses seem to spring to attention.
The honey is an excellent note in this fragrance – it tempers the freshness & stops it feeling as though you’ve squirted a lemon in your eye. I love the lime & spices, too. Just mouth-wateringly wonderful. My mother-in-law (to be) and I liked this so much, we wished we’d brought our suitcases back to the department & sprayed everything we owned with it! If only this wasn’t so difficult to find in the UK. And expensive. Ah well, such is life…
