Light citrusy perfume - any recommendations?

My favourite EDT has been discontinued at Yves Rocher - Citrus Flower. It was lovely, light and perfect to wear for work as not too strong.

So I need to find something else. Ideally grapefruit notes but nothing too strong - I didn't like the Jo Malone citrus ones. Any ideas? I can spend up to £50.

I recently received a sample of
this and it's absolutely beautiful. Not my usual kind of scent at all but I have been reaching for it on a daily basis now that the sun has made an appearance.

Hm, i am not good at distinguishing citrus perfumes but I wear Clinique Happy Heart and Elizabeth Ardwn green tea for work. Both get compliments

LakeFlyPie · 05/04/2016 19:14

O de Lancôme is very fresh and citrussy

TrixieBernadette · 05/04/2016 19:15

Clinique happy was always my favourite with that smell, but that was years ago, not sure if they still sell it?

BatmanLovesLarry · 05/04/2016 19:16

Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche is my favourite citrussy scent.

Tatiana11235 · 05/04/2016 19:16

D&G Light Blue. Definitely citrusy.

Elfontheedge · 05/04/2016 19:18

I have the L'Occitaine vervain perfume - lovely and lemony

bibbitybobbityyhat · 05/04/2016 19:19

O de Lancome. Gorgeous.

HooseRice · 05/04/2016 19:24

Clarins Eau Dynamisante

Flossiesmummy · 05/04/2016 19:28

Seconding D&G light blue

RoosterCogburn · 05/04/2016 19:30

Jo Malone Grapefruit.
It also works really well if you use it with Jo Malone Wild Bluebell

RoosterCogburn · 05/04/2016 19:31

Sorry - just read your message properly and you didn't like JM Blush

Jmangel · 05/04/2016 19:35

Huge 3rd to light blue - my absolute favourite summer fragrance. Lovely citrus top note with a sexy musky base note.

Spandexpants007 · 05/04/2016 19:36

Do any of these smell remotely like a lemon refreshers bar? That would be my dream perfume

mrsnoon · 05/04/2016 19:38

D&G Light Blue or DKNY Woman, both citrusy but think the DKNY one is more graprefruity.

Pippidoeswhatshewants · 05/04/2016 19:46

L'occitane verveine, M&S do cheap knock off versions of that as well. I have got Cèdre for work, it's fresh but not really lemony.

Maladicta · 05/04/2016 20:02

Thanks for these!

Will head into town and have a good sniff around so to speak! Years of rhinitis have really whacked my sense of smell - citrus is the only aroma I can identify accurately Sad

Guerlain Pamplelune. Is extraordinarily grapefruity.

blueskyinmarch · 05/04/2016 20:04

Clarins Eau de Jardins is light and summery. I love it.

Sparkletastic · 05/04/2016 20:04

Just had to order myself a bottle of O de Lancôme because of this thread. The ultimate citrus.

Eliza22 · 05/04/2016 20:04

Eau Dynamisante....recently rediscovered it. Lovely. Two people asked what it was I was wearing, at the weekend.

KanyesVest · 05/04/2016 20:14

I love the Occitaine bergamot and jasmine but it doesn't last long enough and I'm not organised enough to bring the bottle in my bag to reapply. Any of the above mentioned longer lasting?

sohelpmegoad · 05/04/2016 20:16

Loccitane lemon verbena is lovely, my favorite light summer perfume

CointreauVersial · 05/04/2016 22:04

Shay & Blue Blood Oranges has an amazing orange zing, but with a warm heart. M&S sell it.

Also, as several people have suggested, Occitane have some lovely citrus fragrances - worth trying a few.

FinallyHere · 05/04/2016 22:18

Not sure whether it really counts as citrus, but i love this www.roger-gallet.co.uk/Invigorating/Bois-d-Orange/r129.aspx
