I usually wear DKNY, the pink one, whatever that it.

I fancy a change, I want something fresh and citrusy that doesn't cost a fortune.

Would be grateful for any suggestions x

Dolce gabanna light blue is citrusy and fresh smelling. I don't think it's too expensive, around £30 Smile

Passmethecrisps · 11/10/2016 19:42

Clinique happy is my day to day. Does what it says on the tin

SaucyJack · 11/10/2016 19:43

Vivienne Westwood Boudoir.

You won't like it. Smells like a tart's knicker drawer.

L'Occitane does a nice citrus one-both my sisters wear it. I can't remember the name though, sorry. O de Lancome (about £35) is also a good citrus scent, Essence of West Indian Limes is great and the various Acqua Allegoria sprays are lovely. If you Google those plenty of citrussy ones come up.

Another happy lover here!

tigerdriverII · 11/10/2016 19:45

Clarins Eau des Jardins is lovely: citrusy and floral

TheViewFromTheSheepSeats · 11/10/2016 19:45

Britney Spears- fantasy.....sounds like it should be for kids but it's a lovely citrusy summery scent.

JustCallMeKate · 11/10/2016 19:45

Jo Malone does some citrusy ones and I have a Charlotte Tilbury one that's quite fresh.

shopaholic999 · 11/10/2016 19:45

Paco rabane(sp?) olympea..

And madamoselle Chanel..

EllenDegenerate · 11/10/2016 19:46

Dior Addict

It's not fresh or citrusy in the slightest Smile

I too smell like a tart's knicker drawer!

Herhighness · 11/10/2016 19:48

Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds or Estee Lauders Youth Dew, have worn on alternate days for years. Lovely prongs.

worrierandwine · 11/10/2016 19:48

Jo Malone wood sage and sea salt - obviously not citrus at all but she does citrus I'm sure and they don't have that synthetic tone that a lot of fragrances have. Second Dolce and Gabanna light blue though - gorgeous!

NickiFury · 11/10/2016 19:49

I love citrusy perfume so I wear from the following:-

"Lemon" - CO Bigelow - U.S. only
"Mandarine Basilic Aqua Allegoria" by Guerlain
"Acqua Colonia Lemon and Ginger" - 4711 - got that in Germany.

Also recently discovered 4160 Tuesdays range and out of those I love:-

"What I did on my holidays"
"New York 55"
"Doe in the Snow"
"Fruits from the tree of knowledge"

Love perfume, makes me happy Smile

I've just bought a fairly citrusy perfume from Arran aromatics for 7 quid! It's called eydis. I love it. That's my day time scent. My night time scent is Frederic Malle angelique sous la pluie

Elles01 · 11/10/2016 19:49

Dolce and gabanna light blue definitely. Which has been said already. I got this last year when I went away. Loved it.

Gatehouse77 · 11/10/2016 19:49

Eau de Gatehouse Wink!

DH doesn't like perfume and I can't be arsed!
On very rare occasions I wear a Jo Malone my sister gave me as she didn't like it. And by rare I mean twice a year, maybe?

steppedonlego · 11/10/2016 19:51

I wear Vera wang princess (the name of which gets on my nerves as I am the least princessy person you could care to meet) but the DNKY apple is also a favourite, that's lovely and fresh!

TessMcNess · 11/10/2016 19:51

So now I think maybe I should have a change.

Dior Escale a Portofino.
Hermès Eau de Citron Vert .
Both £££ but much more long-lasting than many citrus frags.
Cheaper -- Arran Aromatics' Citrus Shores.

DoYouRememberJustinBobby · 11/10/2016 19:53

Hermes Eau Claire des Merveilles or Clinique Happy. Both very different but I wear them for different occasions.

AliceTemperley · 11/10/2016 19:55

Philosykos by Diptyque. It's very woody with undertones of fig and coconut.

Or Daisy Eau So Fresh for work

winterinmadeira · 11/10/2016 19:55

I love la dolce vita by Christian Dior. But again it's not citrusy but sweet and sensual. Maybe a jo malone fragrance cos there are lots of citrus based ones to choose from.
