Crisp, dewy and ever-so-sunny, citrus perfumes are like a cool breath of fresh air or taking that first sip of a cocktail somewhere in the sun. They're the sort of scents you reach for when you want to smell clean and chic - and having tried our fair share, we have a zesty pick for every preference.
While often used somewhat interchangeably, citrus and fruity perfumes are, in our eyes, very different genres of scent. Their notes overlap, yes, but the latter brings sweet and juicy aromas like that of peach or cherry, for instance, whereas the former is all crispness and tangy freshness. Think hints of lemon, orange and lime - these blends are radiant, sometimes sharp and incredibly versatile. You can get woody and green citrus scents, dewy florals and even slightly boozy takes - like Escentric Molecules' Cologne One, which was inspired by a chilled gin & tonic. Essentially, there's a citrus-centric blend out there for everyone; you just have to find it.
