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

Ylang ylang essential oil. Because actual perfumes make me feel ill. No idea why, but I really really can't tolerate perfumes. Essential oils are fine though.

I've never found another perfume that made me smell the way Mayfair Tramp did. Probably for a good reason.

Dior poison girl (very unpopular on here I love it) or Marc jacobs daisy.

Sallystyle · 11/10/2016 21:08

My favourite ever is Dior Hypnotic Poison. I also wear Poison Girl a lot as well when I want something lighter.

Chanel- Chance
Angel occasionally on a night out.
Vera Wang- Princess
YSL- Babydoll

Jo Malone lasts like 5 seconds on me but I love the scents.

DangerousBeanz · 11/10/2016 21:08

Precious Oud by Trish Mcevoy. Earthy and spicy- probably not your thing. I love it.

SabineUndine · 11/10/2016 21:09

TessMcNess O de Lancome is very light and citrussy.

Pearlmum1 · 11/10/2016 21:13

The new Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming is so nice! It's a bit sweeter than The Miss Dior Eau De Parfum. I also like the aqua de palma rose fragrance.
I also love poison girl, cannot understand why it's unpopular?

Victor and Rolf Bon Bon Smile

RestlessTraveller · 11/10/2016 21:18

Chanel No5

EllenDegenerate · 11/10/2016 21:20

I wear proper old school Poison.

I wear Miss Dior too but only Le Parfum which is a completely different scent to all the Eau de versions. Completely and utterly different, so much so I don't know why the even named it Miss Dior in the first instance.

YSL Nu is an oldie but a goodie too.

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarine Basilic

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune

My absolute fave is Modern Muse which isn't heavy, and Flowerbomb - i've just bought SJP Lovely, which is floral and not overpowering. My biggest disappointment ever was buying a huge bottle of Jo Malone peony and blush suede - it gave me a dreadful headache about 10 minutes after walking out the shop!! Worst £80 spent ever. Now I spray testers liberally, and see what it's like for a few hours before buying.

OdinsLoveChild · 11/10/2016 21:36

I wear Avon Rare Gold during the day and I have both J'Adore and Chanel No5 for evening wear.

My DD wears Daisy which I do on occasion 'borrow'....Grin

garlicandsapphire · 12/10/2016 08:14

Mark Jacobs Daisy
CK

And my pal was wearing Joseph the other evening which i thought smelt lovely.

MermaidTears · 12/10/2016 11:19

Bowie send em my wayyy Grin

icandoscience · 12/10/2016 11:30

Clinique Happy definitely ticks the 'citrussy' box - I don't have any at the moment but I've worn it loads in the past and it's really nice.

My current favourite is Boss Femme - it's a nice, fresh smell, not too heavy.

J'Adore by Dior is probably one of my all time faves but bloody expensive!

RebelSoldier · 12/10/2016 11:32

Beautiful unique scent that I want to be selfish about and not share. Though they have a shop on Marylebone High Street Smile

ChocolateForAll · 12/10/2016 11:34

Jo Malone pomegranate. Expensive but goes a long way. I also wear her grapefruit one which is a bit lighter. Love both.

chiquita1 · 12/10/2016 11:38

Serge Lutens Santal Blanc.
Jil Sander No. 4.
Shalimar.
Narciso Rodriguez For Her.

DigestiveMuncher · 12/10/2016 11:49

NameGotLostInCyberspace · 12/10/2016 12:34

Diamonds by Armani

BonusNewt · 12/10/2016 12:38

I wear L'eau d'Issey, CKOne and Green Tea. They all sound like the kind of thing you are after OP.

Fortitudine · 12/10/2016 12:42

Current favourites:
Guerlain Shalimar and Mitsouko
Lancôme La Vie Est Belle
Juliette Has A Gun Vengeance Extreme

Unfortunately none of these is citrussy but I do like some of Jo Malone's citrussy ones.

Burberry Body any time

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre for day time

Surge Lutens Ambre Sultan for evening
