Favorite citrus scents?

I am on the hunt for a bright, citrusy scent that will bring some joy to my life every time I spray it. I find lemon to be an especially uplifting scent. Any fave citrus scents?

I’m absolutely head over heels with "Uden | XerJoff" at the moment. Also a big fan of "Casamorati - Lira (Eau de Parfum) | XerJoff" but Uden already scratches that lemony itch so I scraped it off my wishlist. They both have a vanilla note in there somewhere, don’t know if that would bother you?

I do love vanilla quite a bit too, so those might be right up my alley! Thank you!!

I love Bois Bélize Intense . Citrus heavy with rose, maté, and wood.

Lemon Line

@roselune I'm with you in enjoying bright citrusy (especially lemon!) scents - it's hard not to feel joy when wearing them! 🍋🍊

Lemon No. 1999 - my favorite "pure lemon" scent
Bake - my top lemon-vanilla
Battle of the Gourmand Lemon Scents - in case you want additional lemon-vanillas
Sweet Citrus Scents for Summer - for more general citrus blends, here's another list!

Hope you find something you enjoy (and would love to hear about any you do discover, if you're open to sharing)! 🤗

If you don't mind tea notes: Ethereal Wave and Sci Fi are some of my favorite citrusy scents. Sci Fi also has a strong vanilla note

Florist always makes me smile. The lemon note is quite noticeable on my skin, but I'd avoid this if you don't like white florals.

I'm fairly neutral on this one, but have to include West. It's the most citrus-forward scent I have, and the citrus lasts all the way to the drydown on me, which I've never experienced with another citrus perfume.

And specifically because you mentioned lemon, I'm adding these even though I haven't smelled them (yet): Mrs Gloss's Lemon Sherbet Eau de Parfum and Capri In A Bottle Lemon Sugar | 14.

I agree with #krdent with Bois Bélize Intense being a fabulous fragrance, but it's not one I think of when it comes to citrus scents. I might think of New York Intense first. That said, I spent a lot of time last summer wearing Bergamotto di Positano. The bergamot, along with the spices and vanilla is just great.

This is it.

The problem is, once you smell this, no other citrus scent will satisfy you... and they're expensive!

Limone

Pompelmo

Brilliant White Diamonds

Green Tea Lotus has a really nice yuzu note
and even though I let it go, Sunflowers Sunlight Kiss was a nice lighter citrusy take on Sunflowers. I mostly let it go because I have and love the original and this is still pretty similar to it, but the citrus is really nice.

Note de Yuzu is a nice yuzu centric scent

If citrusy florals suit your fancy, Solo Atlas is a beautiful and long lasting neroli bouquet on a resinous backdrop. Sweet, salty, gooey. Delicious.

If you're looking for citrus fruits specifically, Agua Drop is a bergamot explosion. Fresh, bitter, aquatic. Delightful.

If you'd like something a bit more sweet, Orange Sanguine is about 2 hours of photorealistic blood oranges and then a whole evening of meditative airy custard apples ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡

I love a clean and tart citrus scent! Below a list of some that immediately come to mind.

Falling into the Sea
Fun citrus-y "beachy" scent. I say beachy in quotations because I feel like that could be interpreted as aquatic, but it doesn't really give me aquatic, but it does give me beach??? Sure lol.

Bohemian Lime
Very tart woody lime. I love this.

Limoncello Season
Longevity on this could be better but scent and price is good. Creamy musky lemon.

God of Fire
Mango is the star here, but its very citrus forward. Very expensive but great longevity.

Aqua Sextius
I usually don't like "aquatic citrus" profiles but love this!

And then a subsection of my favorite genre, the inexpensive aisle!

Fantasy Sheer
Citrus water and cupcake sounds like an odd combo but it strangely works. Not very strong, but nice for light summer days

Green Tea Eau Parfumée
Green Tea Citron Freesia
Queen of the inexpensive citrus scents. Green Tea is always a solid choice. Citron is a more sharp citrus version of it.

Probably some others I am forgetting, but hope this helps you on the HUNT. Enjoy!

I have been relentlessly recommending Cefiro Eau de Toilette to people who enjoy citrus. It does not cause a headache, is long lasting and just so beautiful. Sample it! Many compare it to CK One Eau de Toilette but the one from Floris feels so much more refined and made from quality ingredients. It is lemony!

Another well executed citrus is Symphony. Expensive, but gorgeous bright zestiness. Screams - citrus.
