A fragrance inspired by the mysterious Italian girl Mignon in Goethe’s novel
The NOVELLISTA CITRUS AFFAIR Eau de Parfum is as unforgettable as a walk along Italy’s Amalfi Coast. It transports you to a place where the lemon trees smell wonderful and glow a golden orange shade in the deep twilight. It refreshes and caresses you like a breeze blowing on the high cliffs above the azure blue sea.

- the fragrance is the work of the perfumer Marie Huguenot
With its high concentration of essential oils and the purest, most luxurious essences, this is a fresh, distinctive scent you can enjoy for a very long time. All in a timeless and exceptionally elegant flacon.
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.
