Bold Citrus Scents to Wear in the City

With the gradual unveiling of spring, we’re know you’ve got one thing on your mind: time for a fragrance wardrobe overhaul. This season, make room for a pop of vibrant citrus aromas: from cool bergamot to tart lemon and lime these are the notes that will take you straight into summer.

To make the choice easier, we curated a list of 4 spring-ready scent edits with mass appeal:

ANNICK GOUTAL Eau d’Hadrien

Forget morning coffee, this Annick Goutal number will invigorate and awaken your senses. A citrusy fragrance through and through, the introduction of lemon tempers the aromatic cypress notes and pumps up the edginess, pairing citron with mandarin orange.

It’s the scent that lingers on the tip of your fingers when peeling an orange, but with a slice of lemon and a dash of water for added freshness.

MONTALE Soleil de Capri

We’re calling it: Soleil de Capri is the ultimate destination fragrance. It’s orange sorbet enjoyed under a lemon grove on Capri, with citrus in all its glory and a generous dose of musk. It’s impossible to wear this and not have a totally breezy vibe. Add this one to your queue to inject some spring in your morning spray.

(MALIN+GOETZ) Bergamot

MALIN+GOETZ’s fragrance is an ode to the star ingredient, zesty bergamot grown in Calabria. The composition of citrus with a hint of spice jolts on the zesty theme by including lemon, lime and grapefruit in the mix. Amber and musk weave the cloak that keeps you warm and sophisticated, and provide the perfect backdrop of sweetness.

Who wouldn’t want a bit of that on their skin?

ACQUA DI PARMA Colonia Pura

A directional take on spring freshness, Colonia Pura fits the description perfectly. Bergamot and orange mix delivers an energetic blend, balanced by unexpected jasmine and pepper combo as it wears.

Elegant and fresh, this scent commands attention without being too bossy about it.
