Citrus perfumes & decants — your questions answered
What does Citrus smell like in perfume?
Citrus is a perfume note that shapes part of a fragrance's character. Worn as a top note it reads brighter on the opening; as a heart or base note it adds depth and lingers longer on skin. The easiest way to judge it is to sample a 2 ml decant of a scent built around citrus.
Are Citrus perfume samples and decants authentic?
Yes. Every citrus fragrance at Scento is hand-decanted from a sealed, original bottle — never a clone, dupe or inspired-by version. The original batch code is printed on the label and shown on your order page, so you can verify the provenance yourself.
How can I try Citrus perfumes before buying a full bottle?
Every citrus fragrance is sold as a decant — 2 ml (about 30 sprays), 5 ml (about 75 sprays) or 8 ml (about 120 sprays, with a refillable atomizer) — poured from a genuine sealed bottle. Wear it for a few days and decide before committing to a full bottle.
Does Citrus work as a top, heart or base note?
It depends on the fragrance. Citrus can be composed as a top, heart or base note, and that placement shapes how long it lingers — base notes generally last 6–8 hours while top notes are more fleeting at 2–4 hours. Each product's note breakdown shows where citrus sits in that scent.
