Should have added, I love very powerful, longlasting fragrances.

I've just started with Bulgari Magnolia. A bit of a change for me but I love it and several people have commented favourably.

Nina by Nina Ricci

Jo Malone Orange Marmalade - it's lovely and zesty.

Thanks all!
@DisplayPurposesOnly
Nina! I used to wear this about 15 years ago and remember loving it.
Nina Ricci released a flanker called Bella in a dark green bottle which I also adored. It was more of a late summer fragrance, smelt quite rhubarby! They discontinued it unfortunately.

Ive recently got into Jo Malone, albeit really good EV dupes.
I love the Pear and Freesia one.
In my fragrance calendar I got a full size Jo Malone Seasalt and Woodsage. I’m loathe to try it as it sounds very musky/woody, not my preference at all.
It’s in such a beautiful box too so would make a lovely gift.

Maison margiela under the lemon tree or beach walk is a lovely summer one but not zesty more coconut and sea salt
penhaligons Blenheim bouquet or juniper sling
Xerjoff lira although this is more gourmand and smells like lemon drizzle cake I love it

Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche
Miller Harris Lumière Dorée

are both great citrusy spring fragrances imo

Prada Infusion de Rhubarbe. Its my sprjng/summer perfume and it's incredible.

O de Lancome - cannot be beaten for Spring/Summer zestiness. And it doesn't disappear after a few minutes, unlike all the Jo Malones.

You should defect to Jo loves which is her proper brand now after she sold the other one

Jo by Jo loves Jo loves (who thought that’s a good name?) would be a good contender if you like grapefruit? It’s very zesty and citrus forward.

GreggWallace · 15/01/2026 07:38

Or pomelo. The deal with Jo loves was she was signed into a non-competition thing for three years after she sold her company

GreggWallace · 15/01/2026 07:38

It's Jo by Jo loves
