Fresh clean perfume recommendations…

I’m sure this has been done to death but, if I like:
JLo Glow
Jo Malone Grapefruit or Lime, Basil, Mandarin
Issey Miyake
DKNY (the original)
Can you recommend any really lovely fresh clean perfumes?

I’m running low on perfume and I feel in need of an update.

DH had a gorgeous sample of an Acqua De Parma which was fresh but definitely feminine, and I ended up using it but I can’t remember what it was.

Any recommendations please?

Oooh, I've found my people - I love fresh, 'zingy' scents. Many of my favourites have already been mentioned but in addition, I'd recommend the following :

Estee Lauder Green Tea - the original, and variations such as cucumber or mimosa. So fresh and cheap enough to spray regularly if you need to.

Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca - has a lovely minty note.

Liz Earle No. 1 - very citrussy.

Penhaligons Juniper Sling - unisex but oh so lovely and crisp (and expensive unfortunately).

CK2 - another fresh unisex one with, to my nose anyway, an interesting undercurrent of very light musk when it dries down.

Miller & Harris Le Jasmin - which, despite the name, is far more lemony to me.

L'Occitane Verbena - love this, but doesn't last long on me unfortunately.

Tiffany - the original perfume, don't think it has a specific name - classy fresh and citrussy.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante - absolutely gorgeous but I wish it lasted longer. In fact all their scents lean to fresh without any sickly sweet notes.

Ooh loads of recommendations - thank you!

I’ve ordered a 30ml bottle of Armani Acqua Di Gioia to start with because it’s one that I haven’t had before and on offer atm - plus the description sounds right up my street, as do most of them.

I’m going to try and sniff my way through the rest of these when I can get to the shops.

Tom Ford Neroli or the Jenny Glow Neroli or Just Jack dupes of it. Gorgeous fresh lemony scent.
