Review of Citizen Queen by aad de gids

(2021) I still remember, having splurged on three JHAG's Midnight Ouds, that also this perfume won me over immediately. hearing Romano is [family, a nephew ?] of Nina Ricci is just fantastic ! such disparate tastes and somewhat a comparison of 'wild' versus 'overcorrect'. to me this perfume bears resemblance with Mona di Orio's 'Nuit Noire'. comparing the notes I see the following resemblances: Leather, Flowers ([NN:} Tuberose, Orange blossom) while Citizin Queen isn't sparse with flowers: Iris, Rose, Immortelle, Tuberose, Labdanum, Orange Blossom [and Vanilla]) and Nuit Noire has the two woods Cedar and Sandelwood. but with the resins and sweet touches (CQ: Labdanum, Resins, Vanilla and Ambroxan) where (NN has: Amber, Tonka, Olibanum, White Musks) they are just two powerful and supersophisticated, complex perfumes which I both love dearly. these are modern niche perfumes heralding old traditions and compositions. I love them both.
