Since 2013, Citadelle Raw Spirit has never stopped surprising. A unisex fragrance from the spicy and fruit families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Harry Fremont. Available as eau de parfum.
Produced in Australia, and you can feel it in every note. Citadelle Raw Spirit 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 rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The note pyramid of Citadelle unfolds as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Raw Spirit is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Fruit, Musc and Wood without random overlap. Background accords such as Amber and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Right at the start you catch radiant lemon-bergamot first notes: Bergamot, Lemon and Pear.
In the heart you notice Calendula, Cinnamon and Nutmeg keeping a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Floral and Spicy. The framework further includes Ambery, Wood and Musk. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Fruit and Spicy.
Overall Citadelle holds a coherent structure — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
