I really want to find the perfume that is ME. I’m sure is out there somewhere, I just don’t know what it is. I like fresh, citrus smells - nothing cloying or heavy or sweet.

I really like DKNY woman, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, Clarins Eau des Jardins, and l’eau par kenzo. They’re all lovely fresh perfumes but I don’t feel like any of them are The One.

Help me, oh wise ones - what else might I like?!

Liz Earle No 1?

If you haven't already, you can try putting in the fragrances you like into Fragrantica to find ones with similar notes.

Frangonard Magnolia is light and nice.

Un Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermes.
I like to wear it in the summer, but I dislike it in cold weather

Have a look at Beauty Monotheme range. Their mandarin is lovely and they do quite a fruity range. They are sold at m and s so you can try them there.

OrigamiParrot · 24/06/2020 18:32

10am Flirt by Kierin is great, fresh but slightly woody.

Drogonssmile · 24/06/2020 18:40

I've recently fallen in love with Clarins eau ressourcant have you tried that?

slipperyeel · 24/06/2020 19:45

Chanel Cristalle might be right up your street

Clinique Happy

JoysOfString · 24/06/2020 19:56

I have similar tastes to you. My favourite is l’occitane pamplemousse & rhubarbe - it’s a fresh grapefruity smell but has some spice and wood notes too, so you’d need to test it.

Also try caudalie fleur de vigne, Elizabeth Arden green tea, l’occitane verbena.

Xylophonics · 24/06/2020 20:30

Ghost Deep Night
Also like Elizabeth Arden Untold but it's apparently no longer available

snappycamper · 25/06/2020 15:37

Very expensive but neroli portofino by Tom Ford is my absolute favourite citrus perfume. Grapefruit cologne by jo malone is also gorgeous.

I love citrus perfumes but get so disappointed when they don't last. These are two of the best ones I have for longevity too

Barracker · 25/06/2020 19:23

Try Mandarine Basilic by Guerlain.

spababe · 26/06/2020 17:35

Another vote for Chanel Cristalle

yellowbluebell · 26/06/2020 17:37

Noa is a really fresh perfume

Gabi1412 · 26/06/2020 17:41

I have tried and tested forever and a day and my family won’t allow me to change “my “ scent - Calvin Klein CK One? It s a classic....

Rainbowsparkle · 26/06/2020 17:42

I wear daisy love by Marc Jacobs and in love with you by Emporio Armani. Both absolutely gorgeous.
For my evening perfume I wear changing Constance by penhaligons
