April 14, 2025 | Los Angeles, California — The independent fragrance brand Aurora Scents has released its newest creation: Citrine Dusk, a warm, golden-toned perfume inspired by the glow of sunset and the energy of long summer evenings. This radiant fragrance aims to capture that fleeting moment between day and night when the world seems wrapped in amber light.
A Sunset in a Bottle
Citrine Dusk was developed by master perfumer Daniela Cortés, who drew inspiration from summer road trips, desert heat, and glowing horizon lines.
“This perfume is meant to evoke a feeling — that golden hour when everything is warm, alive, and full of promise,” Cortés said in a press statement. “Citrine Dusk blends citrus, heat, and sensuality in a way that’s both nostalgic and forward-looking.”
