Can someone recommend a not-too-expensive fresh non-floral scent?

[peggotty]

Sort of grassy or citrusy - oh does anyone know what I mean??!

Liz Earle's botanical essence no1? It's a pretty fresh, citrusy-bergamot scent but it's £47.

Ah I can´t help as I avoid all grassy / citrusy perfumes.

I was going to suggest Cool water which is still my favourite fresh scent.

I love intuision by eld as well but thats not really fresh.

L'occitane the vert has a bitter citrus note in it.

Elizabeth Arden - Green Tea. I've seen it in TK MAXX and Bodycare for anywhere between £10-£20. I think it's lovely but doesn't have the best staying power.....

I love Clarins Eau Ressourcante and the brand Roger and Gallet (can now get at M&S) do some lovely fresh scents. Clarins one has better staying power though and comes in large bottle that lasts ages.

Acqua di Gioia is beautiful but I have a feeling it might be quite dear.

L'Occitane Verbena is beatiful. Very light, fresh & citrussy. Costs around £13.

I like Dolce and Gabbana No. 3 L'imperatrice. It's a fresh citrus scent and costs about £35.

My favourite is Origins ginger essence. It is really fresh and spicy.

am a sucker for this kind of thing ...
Clarins Eau Des Jardins
Aroma Tonic by Lancome
O de Lancome
Versace Versense
Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford
Philosykos by Diptyque.....
check out www.fragrantica.com/ for reviews and la scenteurs for more niche stuff....

Diptyque Philosykos is my favourite fresh scent. Its a fig based scent and is beautiful.

These ladies will be able to help.

Clinique Happy

I second the suggestions for Occitane's Verbena - lovely, The Verte and
Clarin's Eau Resourcante which is fantastic - like clean sun dried linen and under £20.
Crabtree and Evelyn do a very fresh cologne of bitter oranges which is about £15

Un Jardin en Méditerranée by Hermes is nice.

I second Clinique Happy.

Try Zara, they have a good range and under £20!

Cacherel Noa is a nice one, and been around for a while so you can prob pick up quite cheap..

I third Clinique Happy. One of the few fragrances I've been complimented on by male colleagues

Wow loads of suggestions - thanks very much. I'll seek out as much as possible to try.

the Clarins Floral one - Jardin is lovely and fresh or O de Lancome is fantastic.

I wear L'Occitane Green Tea and Jasmine.
