Real talk
There's a version of this that smells like the moment before a speech, bright, authoritative, a held breath. The opening is crisp and almost sharp before the iris softens everything.Citizen X
Citizen Queen is unapologetically bold. That aldehydic punch mixed with leather will polarize, and the civet in the base is not subtle. If you want a polite office scent, keep searching.Citizen Queen
