Uplifting, feelgood fragrance

Help me find an uplifting, feelgood fragrance for work, so nothing too strong. I'm not happy in my job, but need to stick it out for a while longer.

I’ve just treated myself to Guerlain’s Aqua Allegorica Herba Fresca - very fresh and uplifting, cologne-style so not overpowering at all. Lots of choice in the Aqua Allegorica range of Herba Fresca not your thing, all fresh and light.

Ooh I love those @AwkwardSquad. I have Rosa Fizz.

I also love Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin. Such a classic.

I can't stop wearing Zara Jo's Rhubarb at the moment. It's fresh and sharp and just lovely (if you like the smell of rhubarb) It's one of their Jo Malone designed ones. Doesn't last all that long - but only £25 for a big bottle so I don't mind!

M and S have a new range Provenance.I have the Amongst the Orange Groves, Eau de Parfum.It is lovely,light and fresh and lasts a good amount of time.If I was treating myself it would be a Jo Malone fragrance.

Labradabradorable · 14/07/2021 20:26

I like L’Occiataine Herbae. It’s light and fresh without being sickly or floral.

Chicchicchicchiclana · 14/07/2021 20:28

O de Lancome! beautiful summer fragrance.

dontputitinyourmouth · 14/07/2021 20:38

Chanel chance eau fraiche, the green one is lovely, lasts quite well too

BajanB · 14/07/2021 20:41

I’ve recently discovered Jo Malone Poppy and Barley cologne and absolutely love it. For a JM product it lasts pretty well on me too. It’s very summery, a bit sherbety but also warm somehow.

1frenchfoodie · 14/07/2021 20:52

Dolce & gabbana Light Blue fits the bill for me, citrus, apple and light cedar with some white florals. Perfect light and bright summer fragrance. Interested to see the recommendations.

PickleAF · 14/07/2021 21:03

Jo malone honey suckle and davanna!

Have you considered a neom oil diffuser pod? They do mini ones too - they've got some amazing oils that do the trick for uplifting!

GreyJeans · 14/07/2021 23:47

Thanks for the suggestions, I will sniff them out over the weekend Smile

@PickleAF
I have a diffuser pod, and despite having my own office, I'm pretty sure I won't be allowed to use it as someone might react to essential oils/ cause a migraine/fire risk/electrical testing etc. Same for reed diffusers and room fragrancers...

LV Contre Moi. Nice vanilla hints. Get lots of compliments

Nightmarenextdoor · 15/07/2021 02:17

Clarins Eau de Jardin. Sorry to hear you’re having a tough time x

EccentricaGalumbits · 15/07/2021 02:47

The DKNY ones in the apple shape.

Any of the Daisy varieties.

@Nightmarenextdoor
Thank you, I'll survive! [smile}

Clinique happy !!

MarshmallowsOnToast · 15/07/2021 17:29

Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (the pink one) for me! Similar to MJ Daisy but nicer in my opinion.

Uplifting, feelgood fragrance
Beebumble2 · 15/07/2021 18:43

Another vote for Clarins Eau de Jardin

FindingMeno · 15/07/2021 18:47

Perhaps look into aromatherapy and an oil you can wear to make you feel uplifted, energised or whatever you're particularly after.

FindingMeno · 15/07/2021 18:49

( I usually opt for jasmine, )

MissBattleaxe · 15/07/2021 22:09

Don't wear essential oils neat! They can irritate unless diluted. Some lovely suggestions here. Anything with citrus, orange blossom or petit grain works well.

Whattodonow5 · 15/07/2021 22:17

Id vote for the original Daisy perfume or wood sage and sea salt Jo Malone.

FindingMeno · 16/07/2021 07:23

You can buy necklaces with a soft ball inside that you can drop oil on, or buy a specially bended oil that you can wear as perfume. Should have said that!

HaroldTheHare · 16/07/2021 08:27

Tom Ford Costa Azzura- it's wonderful!
