Kitrea

Kitrea is a honeyed citrus from Maria Candida Gentile, composed by the founder and released in 2014, worn by anyone. Everyone who describes it finds it gourmand and citrus, and about half add amber.

Lemon and bergamot open it with a clean, zesty brightness, and honey arrives at the same time, thick and sweet, so the first impression is of citrus peel dipped in something golden. The heart is a general fruity sweetness that carries the honey forward without naming a particular fruit. The base is beeswax and amber: the beeswax adds a waxy, slightly animal, honeycomb warmth that makes the honey feel natural rather than syrupy, and amber gives a soft, resinous glow that holds it on the skin.

With only a few notes listed, it is a focused scent about one idea, honey and lemon together. It suits daytime and mild weather, and should appeal to people who like honey notes and want them fresh rather than heavy.
