A unisex citrusy perfume that lasts?

[Merrythought]

Any ideas about this? I haven’t worn scent in years. I love citrus and more masculine scents but I don’t want overpowering.
I liked Bergamotto di Positano by Floris, but found it a bit cloying sometimes.

There’s a Liz Earle scent that’s citrusy, I can’t remember which one

Liz Earle No 1 - it’s lovely.

Not a thing

It makes me so sad but citrus scents do not last

Blood Orange by Shay and Blue is lovely but not super long lasting

Is that the one that was in the M and S beauty calendar a couple of years ago?

Old fashioned original eau de cologne, but again not really long lasting.

I think I mean citrus top notes but still managing to smell ‘clean’ throughout the day? I don’t have a clue where to start really. The Liz Earle sounds nice, but is it too feminine? Just looking up Blood Orange now.

L’Occitane Verbena. Lovely and lemony.

Ooh I looked at that the other day @LunaNorth
Has anyone tried the grapefruit rhubarby one they do? Too sweet?

I second Luna's suggestion

I love eau de Cologne. It's a shame it doesn't last.

Citrus by definition won't last.
If it has richer base notes it will but it won't be clean anymore. Artisan Parfumeur Seville a' l'aube for example is orange to begin with but then a quite heavy lavender and patchouli-esque mix takes over.

Liz Earle 1, Yardley Jade and Chanel Cristalle share so many notes they are effectively the same perfume, but even the ££££s one won't last that long.

Annick Goutal Eau du Sud is a limey unisex but again won't last.

No cologne of any kind will last because they're 80% water, but Boots do a massive bottle of lemon EDC for about £5.

I adore all of the above and most of the ones mentioned but there's no point spending tons on a TF Neroli Portofino which isn't going to last any longer than the Superdrug version which costs a fiver. Citrus is as citrus does, beautiful though it is.

Sad but true. I have given up on my holy grail of a grapefruit scent.

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue

yes, Verbena as pps have said
You can buy the kit for £20 or £30 or so with a 10ml sample if you want to try it. Comes also with soap, shower gel etc

I'm wearing Guerlain aqua Allegoria neroli Bianco today and it lasts several hours. It's a beautiful sharp invigorating citrus . California reverie by van Cleef & Arpel's is also a stunning Californian citrus with Jasmine .Profumum aroma Neroli is also very beautiful .

Cristalle EDP lasts pretty well and smells wonderful. A classic lemon is l eau d' hadrien by Annick Goutal and a couple of stunning grapefruits are Hermes Pamplemousse Rose & Clinique Calyx.

Some gorgeous suggestions here, thank you all. It will be so nice to smell of something other than baby sick for once.

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue

this is hwat i was going to say

Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune by Guerlain is a Citrus fragrance for women. Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune was launched in 1999. Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune was created by Jean-Paul Guerlain and Mathilde Laurent. Top notes are Grapefruit and Bergamot; middle notes are Cassia, Petitgrain and Neroli; base notes are Patchouli and Vanilla.

Gorgeous. I thing grapefruit scent is the key to zingy freshness not lemon.

think

Fellow grapefruit scent lovers!
My favourite scent ever is the Max Benjamin candle Pomelo.

Jo Loves also does a Pomelo perfume that is very unisex, citrus and long lasting (but expensive)

Dior Eau Sauvage. After Shave but i love it, especially in Summer.

Acqua allegoria pamplelune smelled of cat pee on me. No other way to describe it. Been meaning to check out jo loves pomelo though thanks for the reminder

Calvin Klein CK one is citrusy, not sure if they still sell though.
