Zeste Obscur — Inspired by Hermès Eau de Citron Noir · Maison Appalachia · Soleil Collection · Extrait Strength Perfume Spray · 15 ml

Citrus, but not as you know it.

Zeste Obscur opens with a vivid, three-dimensional burst of lemon, citron, and lime — rind, pith, zest and all — bright and immediately alive. But beneath it, something unexpected: the smoky depth of black lime, the dried citrus of Middle Eastern cuisine, fermented and tangy and unlike anything in a conventional citrus fragrance. Black tea threads through the heart, dry and aromatic, while guaiac wood grounds the base in a subtle, smoky warmth that lingers long after the citrus has settled.

The result is a fragrance of extraordinary contrast — radiant on the surface, quietly complex underneath. The midday-to-midnight cologne. A citrus fragrance for people who have outgrown citrus fragrances.

"What sets Eau de Citron Noir apart is the foundation beneath the citrus. It opens bright and zesty like any good daytime freshie, but the black lime, black tea, and guaiac wood underneath give it real substance — something most citrus fragrances never bother to build. This isn't a scent that fades into the background by noon. Perfect for warm summer evenings, when you want that brightness to carry through into something with more depth." - Maison Appalachia's Master Perfumer

Rendered at Extrait strength — 25% fragrance oil in pharmaceutical-grade alcohol — solving the one problem everyone has with the original: it disappears too fast.
