Clean Reserve Citron Fig

In 2016, Clean Beauty Collective Inc., under its Fusion Brands Inc. umbrella, expanded its Reserve line with Citron Fig, a unisex eau de parfum that quickly became a warm-weather staple. Crafted by perfumer Richard Herpin, this fragrance is a masterclass in balancing tart citrus with the creamy sweetness of fig, all while maintaining the brand’s signature “clean” aesthetic.
Citron Fig opens with a burst of lemon zest and green fig, then settles into a heart of mandarin, cardamom, and mint, before drying down to a soft, woody base of cedar and sandalwood. It is a fragrance that feels both natural and sophisticated, perfect for casual daytime wear or a breath of freshness at the office.
With a user rating of 7.5/10 on Parfumo and moderate performance scores, Citron Fig appeals to those who value subtlety over projection. It is a scent that whispers rather than shouts, making it ideal for spring and summer days when you want to smell clean and alive.
