Eau de Citron Noir is the eau de cologne Christine Nagel composed for Hermès in 2018, in the house’s Colognes collection. She makes black lemon, a dried lime from Middle Eastern cuisine, the center of a smoky citrus: lemon at the top, black tea and Buddha’s hand citron at the heart, cabreuva wood in the base.
The Candy Perfume Boy saw Eau de Citron Noir in 2018 as a fresh, crowd-pleasing cologne that does not seek originality but satisfies with its freshness, so much so that he often reaches for it.
What critics say
The Candy Perfume Boy, May 2018
On May 7, 2018, the blogger opens on a lively, sharp start of lemon, citron and lime, juicy and fleshy, lifted by a leafy greenness. The dry smoke of black tea clashes with this citrus, and a warmer, woody and smoky base adds depth.
He finds in it the simple freshness of the house’s Colognes, with a contemporary twist. He judges it a crowd-pleaser, without any particularly original statement, but finds its freshness satisfying and says he reaches for it regularly.
