Description
Description
Narcotica Limonata Extrait is a sun-warmed Mediterranean citrus that opens on bitter grapefruit and lands on creamy tropical fruit over a mossy, musky-amber base.
Composed by perfumer Claude Dir for the niche house Narcotica and released in 2025, Limonata is a hesperidic-fruity extrait that channels endless summer coastlines—zesty citrus and bright red currant up top, juicy mango and saline marine notes at the heart, and a woody, mossy dry-down. Reviewers describe it as bright, happy and invigorating, often comparing it to MOAPC's Tales from Zanzibar but more hesperidic and less green.

Translation: a fruity-fresh citrus burst that dries down warm and woody—the sweetness reads as ripe mango and fig rather than sugar, grounded by moss, cedar and amber.
