Citrusssy perfumes

[user1469770863]

Throwing this out to those FAR more knowledgeable than me about fragrance ( I know there are loads of you on here) ... I want to buy something citrussy and have a budget of £60 max. I tend to use Arden green tea mostly, I love there smell but it only lasts about 5 mins on me!!! Not only for me but as a gift too, same budget. Any ideas?

I have an ancient bottle of Anna sui- I absolutely love it, but I'm really scared they might not make it any more?!

Calyx by Clinique. My go to perfume for years.

Ha, also just came to say Calyx! I love it.

I like Hermes eau d'orange verte, quite woody as well as orangey. It's a classic I think it came out in the 1970s

The Hermes fruit colognes are all nice and they do sample boxes. So pretty with a rainbow of colours in the display.

Roger et gallet Bois d'orange is great and they have a fig one and ginger ones I like too. It's a cheaper brand About £30 for 100ml so you could get two

I liked orange sanguine and grand neroli from atelier cologne when I had their sample set. Also liked bergamot 24 from le labo.

thank you so much all of you, lots of suggestions and ideas. I'm sure to find something good! Thanks everyone. Diolch!

Ô de Lancôme is my favourite.

Croeso!

Shay and Blue Blood Orange is really citrus smelling

You can find stuff online that isn't in shops. I found Le de Givenchy after 40 years - not what you're looking for, OP but a light gardenia smell.

Still amazed by the cost of perfumes/scents. Jo Malone (now taken over by another company) still has a mix and match.

Good old Eau de Lancôme is fresh and a bit lemony

What about CK IN2U bottle is a bit naff but it’s one of my faves and very citrusy

Zara Amalfi is by Jo Malone and is probably the closest to Lime Basil and Mandarin at about half the price.

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune.

I was thinking of this recently but couldn't remember the name. I love it, thank you.

D & G Light blue

Turns out they do still sell it and it's really cheap! And the bottle is super classy, so that's a bonus 🤣🤣 Looks like I've started my Christmas shopping already then.... with a lovely present for myself!

Annick Goutal EauD'Hadrien - divine
Over budget but worth saving for.

Just Jack Neroli ( a Tom Ford dupe ) lovely and cheap as chips.

Perfume Parlour do dupes of the expensive citrus scents.

I love citrus scents but dislike Jo Malone's Lime Basil and Mandarin and Ò de Lancome.

Roger and Gallet blood oranges, monotheme book of citruses at m and a. They have a fig and a mandarin which are also lovely.

I also now wear an essential oil diffuser pendant or bracelet so wear orange oil in that.

I've not heard of an essential oil diffuser pendant @stayingaliveisawayoflife.
Could you post a link please to your one ?

This is incredibly orange y

Lime Basil and Mandarin I don't actually find it citrus y, weirdly

@shrugitoff This is the one I bought because I have to wear silver.

Oh don't worry that is not my name or part of post code!

Another vote for Clinique Happy, it's what i thought of immediately 🙂

Thank you @stayingaliveisawayoflife
How does it work ?
