they have a whole fruity range, go in and try.

IceniSky · 22/11/2019 08:12

Loccitaine have a lovely lemony one. I use it in the summer.

Have a look at the Shay and Blue website though, as I have been delighted with the pure scent and great ingredients of their perfume. I adore their Black Tulip, but they also do a range of beautiful fruity/clean scents and I see they have some new 'light' fruity cologne too.

I like the Guerlain Aqua Allegoria range especially the grapefruit perfume.

val4 · 22/11/2019 09:09

My favourite is Jo Malone BlackBerry and Bay.

TwattingDog · 22/11/2019 09:19

Cacharel - Eden. I wore it for years.

MoodLighting · 22/11/2019 13:33

Chance by Chanel is nice, or Tommy Hilfiger

The Guerlains mentioned above are good for teens, not too heavy and more citrussy than that dreadful fruit-going-off heaviness (aka the pink minger) that a lot of teenagers seem to like.
L'Occitane Verbena is good.
Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien is the most wonderful summery lemon whilst Eau du Sud is more lime sharp.
Clinique Happy is zingy and citrussy.

Next do one called Happiness which I love and fits the bill

FadingStar · 22/11/2019 13:49

Escada used to do amazing fruity scents...not sure if they're still around.

ghislaine · 22/11/2019 13:51

Hermes Le Jardin de Monsieur Li has a very nice fresh lemony scent.

Aqua di Parma fig might also be an option? Warm but not sickly.

DKNY Energy (in the long transparent bottle that resembles a tower). It smells fresh and citrus-y. Only perfume I love even when I have a headache.
The DKNY apple shaped bottle perfume smells fruity and fresh too.

I think Nina by Nina Ricci (in the red bottle shaped bottle) smells also fruity, though it has been years ago since I had it. Clearly aimed as a perfume for young girls.

The Body Shop always has fruity scents too and you can give L’Occitane a try as well.

For more grown up fruity check Guerlain Acqua d’Allegoria series.

I find Light Blue from Dolce & Gabbana quite fresh/fruity too.

OP this website helps you to find perfumes in the style you like, for example ‘floral fruity’.
You can even search for perfumes with a certain note, like mandarin.

I remember now Prada does some nice fruity scents (flankers of Infusion d’Iris) and Guerlain La Petite Robe Noir has a strong berry note. Guerlain Idylle has a beautiful raspberry note.

CatsCatsCats11 · 22/11/2019 14:04

Dolce and gabanna light blue, fruity and not too pricey

Gatekeeper · 22/11/2019 15:45

Thank you all, those Shay and Blue ones look good

THey do Shay and blue on QVC
If she doesn’t like them you can at least return even if opened and used

SteelRiver · 30/11/2019 05:43

Escada Miami Blossom is gorgeous. I'd describe as tropical fruity.

Gatekeeper · 01/12/2019 18:25

Madam now says it needs to smell of raspberries! Off to google but if anyone knows of a suitable one let me know Smile

I used to wear Philosophy Falling in Love which I thought smelt of raspberries even though it was supposed to be blackberries.

Armani Si has blackcurrant notes which I love.
