🇫🇷 French Perfumes!😶‍🌫 Long Lasting and Intense Scents!👍 Fraction of the Cost of Designer Fragrances

PRODUCT DETAILS

Eau de parfum in a 50 ml bottle, with roughly 20% fragrance oil, made with French fragrance oils in small batches. It costs €25, the same price as every scent in the range, whatever the original is. Orders from €55 ship free and arrive in 2 to 5 working days.

Mandarino Di Amalfi is sold as an eau de parfum, so Citrus Wave matches that concentration: fuller than a typical eau de toilette, and a step below a full extrait de parfum, without going as heavy as an eau de cologne would suggest.

Longevity is 6 to 8 hours, with strong sillage and projection for the first couple of hours before it settles closer to the skin. Vegan, cruelty free, handmade, and you have 15 days to exchange it if it's not for you.

NOTES

Top notes

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Citrus Wave is our perfume dupe of Mandarino Di Amalfi by Tom Ford, made for anyone who wants that bright, herbal citrus scent as an everyday bottle rather than a rare treat. It opens on lemon and grapefruit with mint, basil and tarragon, moves through orange blossom, jasmine and a touch of shiso, and settles into a musk and amber base.

The citrus-and-herb accord is what people notice first, sharp and a little green, close to how the original opens. After the first hour the florals soften the sharpness, and by evening it settles into a warm, musky base that carries the scent long after the citrus fades.

Perfume concentration

EDT, EDP or EXDP - what you are actually buying

The difference between these labels is not quality but how much perfume oil sits in the bottle. That decides how long the scent stays on your skin and how far it travels.

EDT Eau de Toilette 5 to 15% perfume oil

The lightest of the three. It opens fresh and fast, but fades after three to five hours. Pleasant in heat and at the office, as long as you top it up during the day.

Our choiceEDP Eau de Parfum ~20% perfume oil

The middle ground that became the standard. It lasts six to eight hours, one spray in the morning is enough, and the scent stays recognisable into the evening without filling the room.

EXDP Extrait de Parfum 20 to 40% perfume oil

The densest form, worn in drops, and it can last over ten hours. In return it loses that easy opening, and the price per bottle climbs the most.

Why we chose EDP

Every Chez Pierre perfume is made in Eau de Parfum concentration, with 20% perfume oil. That is not by accident.

An eau de toilette would mean carrying the bottle with you and refreshing the scent after lunch. An extrait would push the price up, and only someone counting hours would notice the gain. EDP sits exactly in between: one spray in the morning carries the whole working day, and the scent opens and develops instead of settling on the skin at once.

So we don't make lighter and pricier versions of the same scent. We make one, in the concentration where that scent works best.

How a perfume is measured

Longevity, projection and sillage

Three things describe every perfume, whatever the price or the name on the bottle. Once you separate them, it is easier to say what you actually want from a scent.

01

Longevity

How many hours the scent stays on skin

Measured from the moment you spray to the moment you can no longer smell it up close. It depends on the concentration, but also on your skin: on dry skin every perfume lasts less, so a dab of unscented cream before spraying helps.

02

Projection

How far it travels around you

Strongest in the first hour, it tells you how much space the scent takes up. Big projection is great for evenings and colder days, while at the office or in a meeting it usually gets in the way more than it helps.

03

Sillage

The trail you leave behind

Pronounced „see-yazh“, it means the trail a scent leaves behind you. It is the reason someone turns around as you pass. A perfume can last a long time and still leave a small trail, and the other way round.

Strong is not the same as good. A perfume with huge projection quickly tires both you and the people around you, while one without any trail stays your own private thing.

That is why every one of our perfume descriptions says how it wears, not only how it smells.

Citrus Wave

Inspired by: Mandarino Di Amalfi, Tom Ford

Citrus Wave works year-round, but it's at its best from spring into summer, when the citrus and herbs have room to breathe. In winter it can feel a touch sharp, so one spray is usually enough.

Most people wear it as a unisex scent, working equally well for him or for her, and both men and women reach for it comfortably, though the citrus opening tends to read a little more masculine and the floral heart pulls it toward feminine territory too. It suits the office as easily as an evening out.

Choose our Inspiration

Tom Ford is a well-known luxury, designer fragrance house, and Mandarino Di Amalfi belongs to the Private Blend line, the part of the house built around richer, more niche compositions. It's inspired by the Amalfi coast, and the citrus opening is the detail most people mention first.

Most people just say Mandarino Di Amalfi rather than the full name, and it's the fragrance that most of the market's Tom Ford perfume dupes and alternatives are chasing.

Why choose us?

Citrus Wave is our affordable alternative to Mandarino Di Amalfi Tom Ford, our own blend made to smell similar to the original and filled by hand in small batches. We only make it as an eau de parfum, because that's where this kind of citrus and herb composition holds together best.

If it doesn't match what you remember, send it back within 15 days and we'll sort it out.
