TARTE AU CITRON
New in

Imagine the aroma you're greeted with when you open the oven to a freshly baked lemon meringue pie. Tarte au Citron is a citrus dream we've been longing for, with freshness and warm sweetness in perfect balance. The scent opens fresh and invigorating with zesty citrus in focus, then dries down with warm vanilla and a spicy depth.
The top is clearly citrusy with lime zest, lemon and bergamot - a real citrus explosion! This is followed by a heart of cinnamon, jasmine, pie dough, and lemon meringue that rounds off and gives the fragrance depth and spiciness. In the base lies soft vanilla, musk, sandalwood and tonka bean that ties the whole together and gives the fragrance its gourmand character.
Tarte au Citron is for those who like fresh gourmand scents with a clear character. The scent ranges from fresh citrus to spicy warmth and can be liked by both those who generally like vanilla perfumes, but also by those who want a citrus scent with a lot of depth. Tarte Au Citron is for those who are drawn to perfumes with both freshness, sweetness and spiciness, and may also be something for those of you who previously liked our Lemon Eclair, Absolu Vanilla, or other vanilla perfume with lemon.
How is Tarte Au Citron different from Lemon Eclair?
Both scents are based on lemon and vanilla, but they have different characters. Lemon Eclair is soft, fluffy and distinctly sweet with marshmallow, meringue and creamy vanilla in focus. It feels warm, round and dessert-like all the way through. Tarte Au Citron, on the other hand, is fresher and more tart in expression. Here the focus is first on zesty citrus with lemon and lime, which then transitions into spiciness and a warm depth of vanilla, spices and wood. It is less fluffy and not as marshmallow-sweet, but has more contrast between freshness and warmth.
Lemon Eclair is more of a sweet, creamy and fluffy gourmand. Tarte Au Citron is a fresher lemon scent, still with sweetness, but with more tartness, spiciness and depth.
