Citizen Jack Absolute
by Michael Malul London
Citizen Jack Absolute presents a sweet, tropical gourmand profile with prominent melon and pineapple notes that unfold into a creamy vanilla-amber base, supported by bergamot and musk. The scent is light, fresh, and wearable, with a soft, smooth dry-down that feels more like a warm, seductive lotion than a traditional cologne. It strikes a balance between fruity and powdery, leaning slightly masculine in its later stages due to the amber and musk, though it’s widely considered unisex. The fragrance is pleasant on both men and women, particularly appealing in warm weather, where its tropical character shines. It holds moderate longevity and a moderate sillage, with most users reporting lasting 6 hours or more, including traces after showering. The scent is best experienced as a casual, date-night or summer-day choice, drawing comments from friends and admirers alike. Despite some criticism for its synthetic edge and heavy initial sweetness, many users find the evolving dry-down satisfying and uniquely fresh.
