"I would like your lemon sorbet, please."

I love citrus scents like nothing good. Nothing suits summer like a fresh, light citrus scent. Fresh scents, light scents and citrus scents reflect summer, sun and beach.
But this scent is different from most. It reflects a certain romanticism of the warm summer evening. Yes, a summer evening on a summer holiday with his first great love, when you were eating ice cream in the evening.
It does not smell like soap with citrus or like a detergent.
It smells like fresh lemon sorbet in a small sweet hallway, somewhere on a beach resort...
A very dreamy and sweet, fresh and light citrus scent with a creamy note that makes this fragrance a sorbet.
Shelf life for a citrus fragrance relatively good.
An absolute MUST for summer- and truffle fragrance fanatics!

More lemon is not possible...

A great summer scent, which brings the necessary freshness due to the long lasting lemon. Does not appear artificial or soapy at all. There you notice the quality and energy of the fragrance. I've seldom smelled such a great lemon scent. Can recommend this to others with confidence

Cedar in a bottle

The city of Diamante, an ancient colony of Magna Graecia, owes its name to a crow that was spotted with a large diamond in its beak, found in the waters of the Corvino river.
A city that has cedar as its typical product, a wonderful citrus fruit that is the absolute protagonist in this fragrance.
A fresh, citrus and spicy composition, very balanced as it also has a slightly sugary side that softens everything.
In spring or summer in my opinion it reaches its maximum splendor.
Really nice and well made.

Lovely lemon, balanced and interesting

Perris Monte Carlo Cedro di Diamante is part of the Italy collection and is inspired by the diamante citron fruit. The fragrance is a lovely woody fresh lemon mix, featuring a bit of a lime/verbena sharpness, some spices in ginger/cardamom/pepper, and a pleasant dry down of iris, oakmoss, and musk. The verbena isn’t screechy, nor is the spice blend particularly spicy, so the mix retains a lemon dominance and smells curiously sweet, perhaps via the particular mix, as there are not any overly sweet notes per the note breakdown.

Cedro di Diamante lacks the bite of the powerhouse lemon scent of Profumum Roma Acqua Viva, but has some sweetness, so it might be a better option for those who do not want something overpowering or sharply woody but rather a sweet/tart mix with just a touch of creaminess. It’s interesting but easily enjoyable, the lemon staying centered but no other aspect taking over complete. It feels balanced, well conceived.

Overall, though, it’s not quite as interesting as Arancia di Sicilia (which I previously tried / also from the Italy collection) but it’s still a very nice lemon scent and could really be an enjoyable frequent wear, particularly in warmer months, so this is a nice option that I’ll have to give some more thought, though upon first wear, it’s slightly more a “like” than a “love”—still, I’d recommend sampling it.

Priced at $190 for 100ml like the rest of the Italy collection, Cedro di Diamante is available at Indigo Perfumery (from whom I’d recommend buying it) as well as department stores like Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s.

Zesty and juicy

Crisp citrus notes in the opening: both lemon & lime have come to the party!
For someone who is not a devoted green frag lover, verbena is pleasant and bearable enough. Luckily a hint of ginger balances it all quite nicely. There are some spices shyly hiding behind all of the freshness. About an hour later the musks come through on the skin and cedar becomes more prominent but the scent is still very zesty.

Overall it's a vibrant, celebratory scent that'll probably shine better in summer and not on a cold Nordic winter evening (at the time of writing).
