A fresh citrus perfume featuring the vintage citron note (‘cedro’ in Italian), with its delicious sour-sweet, musky aroma.
As always, Perris go for the best materials they can source from around the world. They procure the citron (citrus medica in Latin) right where it originates from the province of Cosenza, Calabria, on the southwestern coast of Italy. The diamante citron is uniquely non-acidic citrus with a fresh and sweet flavour. It is often used for culinary purposes, so you might catch a bit of a cute citrus candy or limoncello in the aroma of Cedro di Diamante.
At one point in the 80’s, citron was nearly abandoned by perfumers because of the high content of furocumarins, which had become restricted. Modern technology enables perfumers to extract the citron oil without furocumarins, and the citron note can now be enjoyed in perfumes again.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
An unhurried afternoon with the windows open and conversation close at hand: the citron’s sweet-tart edge keeps the mood alert, while cardamom and moss give it more texture than a simple citrus splash. Its register is relaxed but precise, with freshness that feels considered rather than sporty.
How to wear
A natural choice for mild spring days and warm weather, when citron and verbena suit the temperature. Start with one or two sprays on the neck or forearms for a restrained application. The composition moves from bright citrus and spice toward a softer iris, moss and musk finish; adjust the dose after trying it on your skin.
Who it’s for
For those who enjoy citrus with green edges and aromatic detail rather than overt sweetness. It will appeal to lovers of verbena, cardamom and mossy bases who want the brightness of a citrus fragrance with a softer, more textured foundation.

The nose
Luca Maffei is an Italian perfumer and co-founder of Atelier Fragranze Milano, whose work spans independent niche houses and established fragrance brands. His compositions often combine clearly defined ingredients with contemporary textures. For Cedro di Diamante, he frames citron with lively spices and a softer iris, oakmoss and musk base.
Perris Monte Carlo’s story
Perris Monte Carlo defines luxury through craftsmanship and the quality of its ingredients rather than outward display. Its approach combines the preservation of traditional perfumery knowledge with advances in extraction, giving distinctive raw materials—and the places they come from—a central role.
Cedro di Diamante’s concept
Cedro di Diamante was conceived within a trio celebrating Italian citrus materials. Built around Capua 1880 citron oil, it evokes Diamante on the Calabrian coast through citrus, verbena and spices. The house’s narrative also connects the fruit with Mediterranean cultural exchange and the selection of citrons for Sukkot.
Extra info
The name’s “cedro” refers to citron, not cedarwood. The composition also features CO₂ extracts of verbena and pink pepper, pairing its central citrus material with green and spicy facets.
