Fresh, light, lemon smell - any ideas for perfume please?

I rarely wear perfume, as the ones I have are "evening-y" so just use them if having a night out. Would really love something light for everyday and I like citrus smells (not floral things). In fact, I quite often prefer aftershave to women's perfumes. Does anyone have any good recommendations (not too expensive would be a bonus too!) Thanks.

I tried a lovely citrussy one on yesterday by Dior- called Portifino I think. It is about £50 so not cheap. I'm saving up to buy it.

All perfumes by the brand Fresh are (to state the obvious) lovely and fresh smelling. My favourites are sugar lemon and burnt sugar.

Apparently Jo Malone is not doing Verbena anymoreSad

Prada aftershave is like this. I have worn it for years and think the new one is more lemony than before or maybe mine had gone a bit 'off' Grin I always get comments and it really stays on my dp says on him it fades very quickly. It smells like lemony soap

Pengaligon's quercus

Acqua di Parma is also lovely (for men or women) though on the pricey side. But very distinctively citrus. I had bought this for my brother on one occasion, but liked it so much that I also got a small bottle for myself - it lasts for ages.

Jo Malone Grapefruit.

There's too much basil in the lime, basil and mandarin for me which gives it a woody/heaviness. Love the Grapefruit shower gel though - the name makes it sound a bit Body Shop cheapo but it's nothing like that.
