Hesperidic Perfumes – Freshness of Mediterranean citrus

Hesperidic Perfumes: freshness of Mediterranean citrus

What is a hesperidic perfume?

The hesperidic family is the historic heart of European perfumery, since the first eaux de cologne of the 17th-18th centuries (Eau de Cologne Originale by Jean-Marie Farina, 1709). It brings together perfumes whose central accord is built around citrus — bergamot, lemon, mandarin, grapefruit, neroli, petitgrain, as well as Mediterranean light aromatics. A founding family that offers the freshest and most sun-drenched contemporary perfumery.

At Soleil d'Or, you can explore this family across the catalogue, including notable signatures at Caron Les Énergisants, Atelier des Ors Eaux Collection, Perris Monte Carlo Italy and Goutal Paris.

When to wear it, and for whom?

Hesperidic perfumes shine particularly in spring and summer, when the warm light reveals the brilliance of citrus. Universal, the family is ideal for daytime wear and for early-morning rituals. The light, dynamic and enveloping side of citrus brings a vibrant freshness sought year-round in warm climates.
