HOW IT WEARS
This fragrance is fairly minimal, and all of the notes ebb and flow from start to finish – there’s no clear fragrance pyramid. Opening like you’ve just cracked a can of San Pellegrino Limonata (IYKYK) Lemonade Grenade begins fizzy, zesty and effervescent. The greener, more botanical notes then appear – the litsea, lemongrass and lemon myrtle. As it wears on the skin though, it warms up, becoming richer and warmer. A delightful, bright citrus scent from beginning to end, this fragrance will last on the skin for 6-8 hours.
LORE LOVES
Lemonade Grenade is a citrus unlike any we have in the store, and it’s due to the Australian native lemon myrtle and lemon ironbark. They both add such a distinctive character to the scent that while simple, allows the notes to truly speak for themselves. It also has brilliant lasting power for a citrus, which we are not mad about at all!
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded in 2019 by Craig Andrade, The Raconteur (“The Storyteller”) is an artisanal luxury fragrance brand specialising in Australian native botanicals and plant extracts.
Having attended one of the world’s most prestigious fragrance schools in Grasse, France, and trained by Elise Pioch Balzac, Andrade knows his perfume. Working with world leader in natural perfumery, Mandy Aftel, he has created Australian botanical extracts and fragrances for use in collaboration with Troye Sivan for Tsu Lange Yor, Paspaley and Cult Design.
“My perfumery practice straddles beauty, art, history, science, botany, geography, and physiology. It comprises rich layers of storytelling and meaning. My focus is on making natural fragrances that combine these elements and provide both pleasure and purpose.” – Craig Andrade
As a fragrance house, The Raconteur is about telling the story of the scent of Australia – a story about the quiet beauty of what was always there. They aim to not only showcase the better-known Australian botanicals (sandalwood, boronia, lemon myrtle, etc) but the rarer ones too – Australia has over 18,000 unique native botanicals, and new ones are being discovered all the time!
All of The Raconteur fragrances are comprised of solely natural ingredients (100% plant derived) and are all vegan and cruelty free.
