Citrus: A Zesty Symphony of Summer by Olfactive O
In the bustling realm of perfumery, where scents whisper tales of distant lands and forgotten memories, Olfactive O has unveiled a new chapter with their latest fragrance, Citrus. A luminous ode to the sun-drenched allure of the Mediterranean, Citrus is not merely a fragrance; it is an experience, a journey through the warm, golden haze of a perfect summer.
Olfactive O: A Symphony of Scent and Soul
Founded by the visionary Olivia da Costa in 2019, Olfactive O has swiftly ascended as a beacon of individuality and elegance in the fragrance world. Olivia, with her Grasse-trained perfumer, crafts scents that are not merely fragrances but an extension of one’s personality, a silent yet profound communicator of one’s character. Using only the finest aromatic materials and botanical essences, each fragrance is a meticulous blend, ensuring purity and a lingering presence that morphs subtly with the wearer’s natural scent, becoming a true signature.
Citrus: A Radiant Journey to the Mediterranean
Inspired by the timeless glamour of 1950’s Italy and the effervescent spirit of summer along the Amalfi coast, Citrus is a vibrant Eau de Parfum that marries the old-world charm with a bright, modern twist. Olivia da Costa envisioned a scent that encapsulates that “effortless and sensuous ease” of a bygone era, yet with a contemporary, bright twist that appeals to the sunseekers and free spirits of today.
A Note-by-Note Exploration
Top Notes: A vivacious dance of crystal lemon, bergamot, and champagne greets the senses, sparking images of sunlit days and effervescent joy.
Heart Notes: The soul of Citrus lies in its heart, where mandarin and grapefruit entwine with the gentle caress of marigold, offering a warmth that is both comforting and invigorating.
Base Notes: The fragrance settles into a rich embrace of amber and musk, with a delicate whisper of philadelphus, ensuring a glowing, enduring finish.
This intriguing blend ensures Citrus is not confined to seasons; it is a timeless companion, equally suited to bask in the summer sun or add a dash of warmth to colder nights.
A Sip and a Spritz: An Exclusive Launch Offer
In a unique, immersive experience, the first 100 purchases of the 30ml Citrus bottle will be enhanced with a complimentary bespoke cocktail, the Sun-kissed Negroni, crafted by expert mixologist Steph diCamillo of Cocktails by Mail. This aromatic, warm, and citrusy concoction has been handcrafted in London using fresh, premium ingredients, designed to complement the fragrance and transport you, through scent and taste, to the sun-kissed landscapes of Italy.
A Fragrance with a Heart: Supporting PANDAS Foundation UK
Citrus is not only a celebration of vibrant aromas but also a beacon of hope and support for those navigating the challenges of perinatal mental illness. Olfactive O has pledged to donate 10% of all profits from Citrus sales to PANDAS Foundation UK, a charity devoted to raising awareness of Post-Natal Depression (PND) and supporting those affected by it. Olivia’s personal journey and recovery from PND after the birth of her second child are celebrated in Citrus, symbolising vibrancy, enthusiasm, and relief.

Citrus will be available from 21st September on www.olfactiveo.com and at Les Senteurs Perfumery, London, priced at £65 for a 30ml bottle.
In every drop of Citrus, there lies a story, a memory, and a journey. It is a fragrance that transcends mere scent, becoming a narrative of summer, of hope, and of the timeless elegance that is Olfactive O. Whether you’re enveloped in the warm embrace of its notes or sipping the complementary Sun-kissed Negroni, Citrus invites you to bask in the golden glow of cherished memories and the endless possibilities that lie ahead.
