Citrus and Wood, from Yardley was released in 2011. The perfumer behind this creation is Christian Provenzano. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Elemi, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin Orange, and Orange, middle notes of Birch, Carrot Seeds, Cumin, Ginger, Pepper, and Tea, and base notes of Amber, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, and Vetiver.
I was very, very impressed with this fragrance initially, it goes on strong and really is full of Citrus and woods as the name suggests. Sharp citrus opening which is neither lemon, grapefruit, bergamot but then slightly orange too. The balance is added by Cedar, vetiver and birch smoke, hint of spices in particular ginger and oakmoss, which had me thinking I'd found a real masculine gem in Yardley Citrus and Wood. The main problem comes when it doesn't even last an hour on my skin, before it just goes 'poof' into the ether, leaving nothing behind. I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to performance but I can't rate a fragrance that is this poor on longevity, no matter how good the opening is. Sorry this gets a thumbs down from me.
