Recs for a lemon perfume that doesn’t give off ‘cleaning spray’ vibes?

I am after a lemon perfume that actually smells of lemons and not toilet/bathroom cleaner.

Ones I’ve tried that to me have the cleaner smell are:

Eros Pour Femme Versace
Under The Lemon Tree Maison Martin Margiela
Yellow Diamond Versace

Does anyone have any recommendations? Thank you 🤗

I wear White Neroli & Lemon by Valentte UK. I get lots of compliments when I wear it, most recently on holiday in Crete. It's a beautiful summer fragrance and doesn't smell remotely like loo cleaner! 😂

I looked this up as I love neroli and lemon but it seems to be only body oil, shower gel etc?
Do they do an actual perfume?

I had a nice sample of citrusy Via Camerelle by Carthusia some years ago. I got it from Roullier White https://www.roullierwhite.com/products/carthusia-via-camerelle-edp-100ml

Off the back of this thread I have just bought a bottle of O de Lancome. I haven't had it before but it's lovely and I get pure lemon from it with no floral at all.

Yesterday I went to M&S to find a new range of fragrance in the store called “Monotheme”. Beautiful bottles, all 100 ml with Penhaligon vibes. I tried the Verbena which was a gorgeous lemony scent and lasted throughout the afternoon where I tested it. The pomegranate was delicious too. They are £19. I’m going to go back and buy the verbena even though the last thing I need is more perfume!

Tom Ford Neroli or its dupes by Valley of Roses or Jenny Glow.

My L'Occitaine Verbena arrived yesterday, it's lovely but lasts exactly 10 minutes, no longevity at all so I wouldn't recommend it. The body cream might last better.

Cedrus by Chloe’s Atelier des Fleurs is gorgeous …

This thread is perfect for me. I wear CK and love it but it doesn't last long on me

Years ago, I used to use CK One - which I remember as being quite citrussy.

It is lovely but doesn't last on me

Eau Sauvage aftershave used to have a lovely citrus smell x

My favourite on my favourite man!
