Can anyone help me find a light orange/mandarin perfume?

I’d like a perfume which is a very simple and light orange (or mandarin) scent, similar to the scent of Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Cream or Superdrug Vitamin C Booster.

I’m happy to go cheap or expensive but don’t want to shop at Body Shop.

Does anyone have any suggestions I could try?

Mandarino d’Amalfi by Tom Ford is gorgeous

Molecule 01 + Mandarin Escentric Molecules

L'Occutane do an orange blossom and neroli one, it's not overpowering at all. Costs £60.

Elie Saab Le parfum eau de toilette was like this but discontinued can still find on eBay etc.

YSL Cinema is similar but heavier (evening).

I second Molecule 01 & Mandarin.

Fugazzi Orange Crush is also good.

Prada Mandarine - smells like you’ve just opened an orange when you spray it (though it fades quickly)

I like Fragonard's orange blossom one (though may not be citrussy enough, more orange floral) or an M&S one called Amongst the Orange Groves (less than the Fragonard one but I think this is more orange-y) or monotheme (brand) might be worth a look as well.

scent!!!

Oooh thank you all so much. Lots to investigate. I had the Escentric Molecules 01 + Mandarin on my list to try. Sounds promising.

This sounds perfect (except the fading!)

I have been wondering if whatever ingredients are used for a very orangey scent are just not long lasting so it’s difficult to make a perfume which lasts.

Looking forward to trying these suggestions 🙂

I was complemented yesterday on a Monotheme one " Agrumi di Sicilia'. I bought it in M&S. It's fresh and light.

Clarins Eau des Jardins is the loveliest citrus scent ever. It doesn't last for ages but it's a massive bottle so you can spritz it on liberally.

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 17/04/2023 17:47

Boss orange is another one. My DM likes that one.

I was googling and unless you have loads of time to try them all then depends which blends work best with you/your skin.

Sometimes you think you like/want a certain blend but it sits/works differently with your skin.

EggyBreads · 17/04/2023 17:51

The best orange scent imo is Scent Doctor Neroli. Plus it's about £30 for a massive bottle. I wear it all the time and people are always telling me I smell nice 🍊

I recently bought a taster selection from here www.thesaltworkscompany.com/collections/our-fragrances?_kx=lQnBsxdSUZWl8F66RssMG97FuqBLikuqeO3K6xsykBM%3D.YfMjAw there was a couple of nice ones. Then you get a voucher for a big bottle for the price of the tester
