The review

On paper, Citrus Saturation is a reasonable bet if you want Orange Bitters for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Orange Bitters's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bitter orange, bergamot and grapefruit, turns to clove and cinnamon, and settles into amber, cedar and musk. That is the brief Citrus Saturation is working from.

Top

  • bitter orange
  • bergamot
  • grapefruit

Heart

  • clove
  • cinnamon

Base

  • amber
  • cedar
  • musk
Bitter orange peel twisted over spice, a negroni's aromatic half.
