CITRI is an artisan and edible perfume launched by famed baker Loria Stern in collaboration with fragrance brand Régime des Fleurs. Inspired by Stern's cookbook of the same name, CITRI consists of "all-natural, food-grade botanical extractions and organic alcohol," going beyond use as a classic body fragrance to double as a flavor mist for craft cocktails, desserts, ice cream creations and more.
The scent boasts citrus notes of lime, bitter orange, blood orange, Meyer lemon, yuzu and more for a refreshing aroma that is perfect for summer.
No stranger to out-of-the-box desserts, Loria Stern is known for her edible flower garnishes, floral shortbread cookies and an array of other handcrafted treats -- each made from local ingredients that are sourced from California-based farmers or the baker's own garden. This edible perfume is no exception and speaks to the correlation between beauty and food products while exploring the popularity and versatility of ingredients that are relevant to both industries.
