Please help me find a new citrus perfume

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?

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

Can you? I've even tried overseas perfume
stores. It is ridiculously priced on eBay. I can't believe it, another poster just said she contacted Lancome yet it was the Lancome counter that told me it was discontinued so I'm happy to hear that it's not!

Other recommendations are Vetiver Pamplemousse by Zara and French Connection "Fragrance" which you can get online or in store but not in general perfume suppliers.

I've recently bought some from
the Perfumes Club and was happy with their price.

Dior Portofino is deliciously lemon and not much else!

That's where I saw it. Tempted to order some even though I haven't even smelt it on the strength of these recommendations! They might not have it in duty free.

Calyx it was by Prescriptives but now you can buy it online by Clinique. It's beautiful !

There's a Zara Citrus which is pleasantly lemony and inexpensive but doesn't last very long, and I also like Naples (by Gallivant, a London niche scent company) which lasts better but costs more.

Have you tried the Clarins New Extraordinaire? It's citrus with Ginger & Jasmine and is wonderful.
Other than that I echo other posters Calyx is great, as is Annick Goutals Eau d'Hadrian. Van Cleef & Arpels California Reverie is stunning. The Atelier Colognes are all pretty much Citrussy & are worth a try. Maybe also try the various Chanel Cristalle permutations. I love the EDP but some gravitate to the EDT which is a different perfume.
Hermes Colognes are normally wonderful as well. Pamplemousse Rose Concentre is delicious in summer whereas Mandarin Ambre is slightly more warming in cooler temperatures. But there's several others you might gravitate towards.

Chanel cristalle is gorgeous

WhereAreWeNow · 01/10/2022 17:00

I don't usually like citrussy perfumes but I recently got Clarins Eau des Jardins and I'm obsessed with it. It's a really fresh, uplifting, citrus scent. It doesn't last for ages but it's a massive bottle so you can reapply when you feel like it.

That’s Pamplelune ( a word play on Pamplemousse which is grapefruit in french, and I guess Lune which is the moon). I have it too, it’s lovely. Bought in Paris years ago and as soon as I spray it on I’m by the Seine.

shay&blue blood oranges, m&s have it

Hopefully it won’t do the same for you when you wear it and transport you straight back to Duty Free!

Hempy · 02/10/2022 10:08

I was also told by Boots that O de Lancome was discontinued but on the Lancome website, it's there. Glad we can still get it 😁

LoveLabradors · 02/10/2022 10:33

Neom energy burst. I love it, it’s super zesty but unfortunately it doesn’t last that long.
