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.

Diorella is lemony, but also lily of the valleyish. It is lovely and fresh. O de Lancome definitely, and the L'Occitane Germaine is my go to for lemony shower gels etc.

DilemmaDelilah · 22/03/2022 17:42

L'Occitane Verveine (I think) not Germaine!

The only one in yellow and white I remember was l’air de temps but the lemony smell I can only think of the first perfume they made at French connection which I still wear!! Really fresh and lemony but not too lemony!

I loved XS!!! Wore it when it first came out, was fitted when they discontinued it.

Eden perfumes - sicilian lemon
4711 aqua colonia

MrsPetty · 22/03/2022 18:02

Maybe D&G Light Blue. Just looking at the bottle. I find it really lemon-y 🍋

smiffy54 · 22/03/2022 18:18

That looks like Clinique, Happy.

When I saw you’d posted Clinique Happy I immediately thought of XS pour elle. Unbelievable it’s not still made, was totally gorgeous to wear.

Fluffmum · 22/03/2022 21:33

Verbena

I love the French connection one, worn it for years on and off, must treat myself to another bottle.

Maybe this one? From 2002?

I was going to suggest this but the bottle doesn't sound right, the Guerlain bottle had an ornate metal bit. It was lovely though, shame it's been discontinued.
SheWoreYellow · 23/03/2022 09:39

Ooh for those who missed my comment, it was XS Pour Elle!

Not made any more, but at least I know what it was Grin

I’ll try some of these other suggestions.

@evilharpy oh I loved this range and you are right the bottles were stunning. I had the grapefruit one and the minty lemony Fresca one Smile gorgeous!

Violetaverbena · 23/03/2022 11:51

Could be Eau de Campgne, Sisley Paris

TheRussianDoll · 26/03/2022 23:14

O de Lancôme

Lemony
Textured bottle in that shape
Popular in the 90’s

Advice79 · 27/03/2022 20:17

Is it Oui by Lancôme? I think it’s discontinued now

@tearinghairout

Yellow and white box sounds like Georgio Armani but I don't know what it smells like.

Eau Jeune smells like O de Lancome - could it be that?

I was going to say Eau Jeune, but it doesn't look like that. It has a green bottle top - and you can only buy it in France these days I think. Love it though.....
