Lemony smelling perfumes?

39 replies

williaminajetfighter · 21/09/2013 20:41

I love lemony smelling perfumes and currently wear one called Lemon Cloud which smells like lemon and marshmallows. Loved it until I realised that it smells just like the lemon flavoured Percy Pig candies from M&S!! Not good.

Am looking for a lemon scent which is grown up and lovely. I like Eau d'Hadrien and Eau Sud (annick goutal) but beyond that not sure of what the options are out there. Any advice appreciated!

Quercus by Penhaligon is quite citrusy

Fragrantica is a really good forum for all things perfume related. You wil find anyhting about any perfume there!

L'occitane verbena

Clarins do a citrusy one but can't remember its exact name. Something summer I think.

Jo Malone have some lovely citrusy scents - Lime, Blossom, Nectarine.

O de Lancome.

emsyj · 21/09/2013 20:46

There's a DKNY one that smells very lemony. I think it's DKNY Woman - in a tall angular bottle.

Quercus is lovely - DH wears that one sometimes. I think it's unisex as many of the Penhaligon's fragrances are.

Not got great sillage but it is a beautiful fragrance.

O de Lancôme is gorgeous. I've been wearing it for about 20 years because I love the unobtrusive citrusy smell.

MrsDoomsPatterson · 21/09/2013 20:57

O de Lancôme & Liz Earle botanicals no 1

Lux by Mona di Orio. I also wear Eau d'Hadrien and Eau du Sud, and DKNY Woman. If you have a big M & S near you, you might try sniffing the lemon Percy Pigs the citrussy Fragonard scents such as Verveine. I think they also do one called Lemon. The Verveine one is quite long lasting too, which can be a problem with citrus scents.

MrsSchadenfreude · 21/09/2013 21:03

If you want to push the boat out, the Eau de Cologne by Chanel in the Exclusifs range is fabulous.

williaminajetfighter · 21/09/2013 21:12

Thx everyone. I've heard about Lux and wanted to try. I love scents and am often on Various perfume sites including LuckyScent which I love. They list 'citrusy' options but was hoping to hear from real life users about their faves. I know the LOccitane Verbena as well. Shall have another shot of it.

williaminajetfighter · 21/09/2013 21:25

Jo Malone lemon and basil is lovely but expensive if you get talked into buying the body lotion

beanandspud · 21/09/2013 22:21

Laughter by Space NK is lovely. If you email them they will often send a sample free of charge.

Not lemon but citrus...
Fresh Citron de Vigne (they are a US company but have a store in London)

Fresh Hesperides
www.fresh.com/share-indulgences-%24100-%26-under/hesperides-grapefruit-eau-de-parfum/H00001198.html

And...they do one called Sugar Lemon which I think you'd like a lot!
www.fresh.com/eau-de-parfum/sugar-lemon-eau-de-parfum/SugarLemonMaster.html#start=2&cgid=Parfum

My personal fave out of those I recommended is Citron de Vigne...but I would say it's a spring and summer smell. You should be able to read reviews for each perfume on the links I sent you :)

Another vote for Quercus

goodasitgets · 22/09/2013 03:31

DKNY woman. Bonus being every time I wear it men say it smells "fit"
Maybe they just like lemon? Grin

glastocat · 22/09/2013 03:35

There is a perfume called Lemon, can't remember who it's by though I think she also does one called Plum?

SundaySimmons · 22/09/2013 07:48

You can pick up some of the Demeter fragrances in the UK but they are mainly sold in the US. Have a lookout on ebay for

Meyer Lemon
