Creating a fragrance always starts with a special emotion, an impression, or even a memorable taste. I have always been fascinated by citrus fragrances, but creating a truly sophisticated and long-lasting citrus perfume proved challenging. Essential oils like lemon, mandarin, and orange are highly volatile and quickly evaporate. Furthermore, citrus scents are often associated with household cleaning products, making it challenging to craft a truly unique and refined fragrance.
For several months, I was captivated by the idea of developing a fragrance combining fresh citrus notes with subtle woody and green nuances. Seeking inspiration, I explored numerous citrus perfumes at Sephora and Ulta, and also sampled niche compositions such as Afternoon Swim, Wulong Cha, and Renaissance.
After countless experiments, Royal Lemon 27 Eau De Parfum was finally born—sophisticated and refreshing with a distinct lemon note, completely unlike household cleaners. To create its unique profile, I combined pine and fir needle accords with apple and grassy hints, accented by subtle woody undertones and high-quality lemon essential oil.
The fragrance turned out airy and delicate, lasting 5-7 hours on the skin. I intentionally chose not to prolong its longevity to preserve its primary idea—the freshness and lightness of a vibrant morning.
