Lemon perfume - can’t remember the name!

About 18 years ago I was given a lemon perfume - it smelt pretty much of pure lemon. Maybe a bit of perfumed lemon Grin

Anyway, at the time I wasn’t overwhelmed, but my nose has changed and I thought I might like it. I can’t work out what it was though!

Yellow and white box, normal sort of perfume styling, you’d be able to get it in duty free. Not Lancôme O. That’s all I’ve got.

Any ideas? I’ve looked on Fragrantica.

Clinique Happy and DKNY the one in the tall bottle are both citrusy

superdupertruper · 21/03/2022 20:11

I was going to say dkny but no yellow in the box or bottle.

Aroma Tonic? It was in a green bottle and the nicest lemony perfume ever. They discontinued it Sad

CK Truth?

Shopgirl1 · 21/03/2022 20:12

There is a Spanish perfume that sounds like this - Alvarez Gomez Agua De Colonia. Google and have a look at the bottle.

[quote SwissCheeseRentedChildren]This is the only yellow and white box that popped into my head. Has some citrus, but not lemon.

I've got that . It doesn't smell like lemon

Placemarking as this perfume sounds lovely!

Was that by Decleor ? If so I absolutely loved it ! If not then ignore me 🤣

CKIN2U maybe?

Body shop used to do a lemon perfume years ago I think? Definitely not upscale posh perfume tho!

Angrymum22 · 21/03/2022 20:16

O de Lancôme is different to O. The original o de Lancôme has been reformulated and doesn’t smell as good as the original. Have a look on eBay for vintage bottles. They have a dark red/maroon top. It has a lovely dry down that is quite addictive.
It was my everyday perfume in my twenties.
I prefer Jo Malone lime, basil & mandarin nowadays.

PurplePansy05 · 21/03/2022 20:16

Or CK In2U although it's more grapefruit than lemon - the box would match but the bottle sounds more like CK Truth.

I'd agree the description is similar to some of the DKNY or Clinique perfumes too.

BettyBootsie · 21/03/2022 20:17

Clarins Eau Dynamisante is what first came to my mind - not smelt it for a long time but remember it as lemonish. Red bottle though

Staggersaurus · 21/03/2022 20:18

@coldfeetmama it was a Lancôme one. Utterly devine and lemony. There was a Facebook group set up to campaign to bring it back Grin

Caramac555 · 21/03/2022 20:18

Xs pour elle by Paco rabanne? Quite citrus. Has been discontinued though.

bellac11 · 21/03/2022 20:20

Mrs Whites lemon cologne?

Feargalthecat · 21/03/2022 20:21

Was it this? I always love a lemon fragrance and used to wear this although I can't remember what it smells like.
I used to love cracking the joke of when people said I smelled nice what is it and I could answer it's Oui Grin

Bettyboodoingthedo · 21/03/2022 20:22

O de Lancôme? 1st thing that came to mind.

PAFMO · 21/03/2022 20:22

Eau de Rochas is also lemony and the description of the bottle fits (at least in older versions) but the box doesn't.

StartupRepair · 21/03/2022 20:23

Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet is very lemony.

NEE1302 · 21/03/2022 20:23

Tommy Girl?

coldfeetmama · 21/03/2022 20:24

Decleor one , very fresh lemony
I loved it and not as expensive as all the other crap I bought -as it looked

SandysMam · 21/03/2022 20:25

@PragmaticWench I came onto say 4711. I’d bet any money it was! So lemony!

Feargalthecat · 21/03/2022 20:26

This is the bottle I had around 1994.
