M& S have a lovely range of perfumes in the Provenance range. My favourite is Amongst the Orange Groves which is a light citrus but I think they're all nice! www.marksandspencer.com/amongst-the-orange-groves-eau-de-parfum-30ml/p/hbp60489691?extid=ps_ps-gen_ggl_be_ch_DSA_-UK-_-_Grow&gclsrc=aw.ds&ds_rl=1295956&ds_rl=1296067&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1ZeUBhDyARIsAOzAqQIfkNpJryStAiuCj633Jd4uDZlEu7L0nAFQ5uF6QeZExracccgNaAUaAuzpEALw_wcB

Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin or the Aldi or Superdrug dupes.

I dont find that citrus-y really

Body shop sell some lovely ones.. I adore pink grapefruit Smile

Unfortunately not one you can buy now but oh I wish I could go back to 1975 and buy Love's fresh lemon body powder. It was the best!

Citrus are my favourites. Eau d’Hadrien is my favourite but i also love beauty pies Lime fragrance an absolute bargain at around £21 for 100ml. Neroli portofino edp is gorgeous too.

Noclosure · 19/05/2022 19:53

Scentology pomelo and neroli is amazing and only £6 for EDP!

LunaTheCat · 20/05/2022 07:30

Jo Loves White Rose and Lemon Leaves - delicious!

Butterfly44 · 20/05/2022 07:40

Estée Lauder Private Collection Tuberose Gardenia Eau de Parfum

This is my go too.

@luckylavender

Yes I agree Lancome O de Lancome and Liz Earle no 1.

I love citrussy perfumes. Used to like Jo Malone Grapefruit but don't like spending money on stuff that disappears so now get the Superdrug dupe of the Lime Basil and Mandarin.

My friend uses Youth Dew. It makes her smell like an old biddy. How can I tell her.

PAFMO · 25/05/2022 05:48

@Bogeyes well, she tells everyone you smell like you've gone off so you're probably quits.

I absolutely adore Guerlain’s Orange Solleia. Normally citrus EDTs don’t last on me. This one really does and it’s landed in that perfect, Goldilocks place where it’s not too sweet and not too sharp. It’s utterly delicious and doesn’t “turn”, either.
There are two more in the same range (Aqua Allegoria is the range) called Pamplemousse, which is pink grapefruit and refreshing; and Mandarine and Basil. Delicious. (Fresher, cleaner and more long-lasting than the JM one, and less floral.). (There is another in the range called Herba Fresca which isn’t citrus, but minty and green and equally fresh. Quite unique. I get questioned about it when I wear it.)
If you want a richer citrus, you can’t go past Trussardi Donna. (Original - in white bottle.) It has rich, marmeladey scent that lingers without being sickly. I have the EDP and it’s magnificent.
They have a flanker in a white and pink striped bottle that is very lemon sorbet as well.
If you can find it, Nike Blush is similar to the Trussardi Donna, but not as lush or long-lasting. It’s very inexpensive and comes in a giant bottle. Nike Green for women is a great one for fresh, after gym scent. (The rest are sickly lolly water.)

I appreciate this is a pointless reply, but next did the perfect citrus perfume. It was called sparking citrus and I wore it every day - then the bastards discontinued it!

Talisin · 25/05/2022 10:01

Angel Schlesser Flor de Naranjo is my summer citrus go to, it’s gorgeous and tangy. And cheap!

SollaSollew · 25/05/2022 10:13

Auqa di Parma Essenza is light and citrusy without being obviously lemony or orangey. They say it's a men's fragrance but I love it so much I wore it to my wedding.

Forestcantrun · 25/05/2022 12:00

D&G No3 La Imperatrice.

Grapefruity deliciousness. Lasts well and I always get comments on it.
Some great suggestions on this though, @Fraaahnces the Mandarin and Basil scent sounds heavenly.
