🍋 The Inspiration: The Frozen Rind
Large, knobby citrons frozen solid in a block of ice, then cracked open. Imperial Iced Citron isolates the zesty, hyper-cold core of Eau Givrée. It focuses on the Bitter Citron Peel, Juniper Frost, and Timut Pepper. It is sharp, acidic, and crystalline.
🧪 The Olfactory Architecture: Ice and Zest
The scent opens with Biting Citron. The heart is pure Juniper Berry Absolute and Timut Pepper. The base is Mineral Frost Accord. It is linear and high-energy.

"It's the smell of electricity in the ice. No amber, no warmth, just the raw power of the cold."
