Community take

Yes, if you enjoy fresh yet smoky scents that stand out.

Eau de Citron Noir is often described as a unique blend of citrus and smoky notes. Users appreciate its fresh lemon and lime opening, complemented by a surprising smoky depth that some find intriguing. It tends to appeal to those who enjoy unconventional fragrances, while others find the combination off-putting or too niche. Many recommend it for warmer weather and casual occasions, although some note that it may not last as long as expected. The fragrance has a polarizing drydown that can shift from fresh to more complex, which may not be for everyone.
