How to choose a perfume with lemon

Choose a lemon perfume by looking at its opening companions: other citrus notes, aromatic herbs or an aquatic accord. The base provides another comparison, particularly between musk, vanilla and woods.

Identify listed lemon

Citron and lemon refer to the same note when reading the catalogue in French or English. Record the other top notes rather than treating every lemon opening as equivalent. Éclat Vert, VIP Pure and VIP Oud Vanille list different opening combinations.

If lemon is your common starting point, decide through another stage: herbs in the heart, a rose note or a vanilla base. The name VIP Oud Vanille alone does not establish a listed oud note; its published pyramid remains the reference for this fragrance.
