Citrus, 1970s: Eau de Guerlain · 336
Choose Citrus by the note, not by the bottle photo. “Eau de Guerlain” in 1970s titles that note, and 4711 is strength or time. Shop lighting is not lasting power. Whether a citrus that lasts eight hours is still a cologne or a different structure.
Hot weather, morning. The family is happier as cologne and EDT than as a heavy EDP. Yes. Warm, moist skin amplifies sweet and spice; dry or cool skin can turn the same juice woody, soapy or short. Test on your skin, not only a blotter. Some citrus oils are phototoxic. IFRA limits leave-on doses. Do not treat cologne as sunscreen, and do not use this page as a safety sheet.
Any ethics or materials I should know? Read the materials chapter for the actual load. Niche and designer often share a family and disagree on dose. No. This atlas is cultural and editorial. Fragrance can irritate; oakmoss, eugenol, citrus oils and musks are common triggers. See a clinician for reactions. Nothing here is a diagnosis, treatment or safety sheet.
Citrus did not arrive as one bottle. The timeline below keeps Grasse, Guerlain, Chanel, Nahéma and IFRA as proper names, not metaphors. Read the years as a map of trade and reformulation, not as a ranking of beauty. Giovanni Maria Farina sells Aqua Mirabilis — the eau de Cologne template.
On the blotter, keep 1970s, “Eau de Guerlain,” and 4711. Without them Citrus blurs.1970s
