Composition of the fragrance 
Right from the start, you’ll be utterly enchanted by the combination of fresh ginger and lemon, which are complemented boldly by the playful, optimistic aroma of grapefruit. Slowly, incredibly subtle notes of citrus and mandarin blossom appear, blending in with hints of jasmine and rose. Gradually, this fresh fragrance transitions into sparkling, musky notes with a touch of light sandalwood and warm amber. 

Inspiration for the fragrance: Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship  
The fragrance NOVELLISTA CITRUS AFFAIR is inspired by the poem “Mignon” from Goethe’s novel Wilhelm Meister’s Apprenticeship. Mignon is a young Italian girl who is central to the story. She arrives with a group of jugglers and plays a significant role in Wilhelm’s life. The captivating verses from the passages where Mignon reminisces about Italy still inspire many different artists and perfumers today.
