Citron Caviar joined the Berdoues portfolio in 2021. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy, floral, and citrus families. Citron Caviar — proudly part of the 1902 Eau de Cologne Tradition collection. An eau de cologne — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — France, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Citron Caviar Berdoues unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Citron Caviar evolves as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Berdoues is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de Cologne emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Musc and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Amber and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In the first seconds you catch invigorating sunny top notes: Bergamot, Lemon and Verbena.
When the opening settles you notice Cardamom, Ginger and Orange blossom holding a spicy-aromatic direction.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Spicy, Whiteflower and Ambery. The palette also extends to Wood, Musk and Floral. At family level the composition sits in Citrus, Floral and Spicy.
Overall Citron Caviar reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced in wear.
