Going on holiday soon and fancy treating myself to a new smell in duty free. I love citrussy smells like Jo Malone Grapefruit and the Orange Bitters limited edition they do at Christmas. If I like these, what would I also like?

I love TF Amalfi mandarino but it dissipates so quickly ☹️

Aqua di Parma has a limited edition one at the moment and it is amazing (and based on my testing has some staying power).

O d Lancome ...probably spelt wrong but a gorgeous lemon fresh scent !!

Jellywobblescobbles · 21/09/2022 16:06

Goutals Eau D’Hadrien is a classic ! Very very citrusy fresh. I have edt but wish i had got edp for longevity.

Orange Blossom by Penhaligon.

MissBattleaxe · 21/09/2022 16:31

If you're in Duty Free, then they ought to have Lancome O de Lancome as a PP suggested. Many of the Guerlain Aqcua Allegorias are very citrussy and you often see them in airports.

I finally treated myself earlier this year! Had always been on my very long list to try. I find it perfect after a shower and in hot weather.

TangoTizer · 21/09/2022 20:44

Chanel Paris-Biarritz. I wore it a lot this summer. Lovely, light, zesty citrus.

Also D&G Light Blue Intense is more lemony, less musky than the original.

sueelleker · 21/09/2022 20:52

Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers has a very lemony top note.

Yapokazhupiter · 21/09/2022 21:16

Terre d'Hermès - an all-time favourite of mine which is predominantly orangey but also has some woody/spicy/vetiver notes.

BammBamm · 21/09/2022 21:22

Escale a portofino is one of my favourites

Neverendingdust · 21/09/2022 21:23

Chanel Biarritz / Hermes Orange Vert

MrsMitford3 · 21/09/2022 21:27

oooh so many ideas for my christmas list.
Adding Jo Loves Green Orange and Coriander-absolutely love it

astarsheis · 21/09/2022 21:29

Hermes Citron Noir

meateatingveggie · 21/09/2022 21:31

@BammBamm escales de pondichery was my absolute favourite and then they discontinued it 😕

HandbagsnGladrags · 21/09/2022 21:42

Some fabulous ideas that I'd never heard of - thanks all. I just hope that the smallish airport I'm flying from has some of them in duty free. I love getting a new perfume for a holiday as it reminds me of that holiday every time I wear it afterwards.

My soul mate in perfume! I wear those all the time.
I also like for a less expensive option
Clarins Eau des Jardins
Neom Grapefruit, lemon and rosemary
One of the L’Occitane Verbena fragrances- can’t remember!

Discontinued. I'm devastated. I've used it for 35 years

HandbagsnGladrags · 21/09/2022 21:58

@TheFormidableMrsC looks like you can still get it some places online.

@TheFormidableMrsC I contacted Lancôme last week and they assured me it wasn't discontinued and it will be back very soon. ☺️

Dishevelled09 · 21/09/2022 22:00

I go between molecule 1& mandarin, fugazzi Orange crush and Jasper conran for women( this is cheap as chips!)

LoopyGremlin · 21/09/2022 22:02

Jo Loves white rose and lemon is lovely

Wow really? That's great news! The Lancome counter at my Boots told me it was discontinued and internet appeared to confirm so that's fab news! Thank you!
