I love Hermes Eau de citron noir. Super fresh, lemon and black tea. Finger lime that gives it a subtle smokiness. Photorealistic and long lasting. My husbands favorite for warmer weather.
Profumum Roma Acqua Viva...most realistic lemon scent you can buy smells more real than actual lemons. I don't know if you want to smell like a lemon though, but it certainly smells good. Perhaps better as an air freshener or something
I prefer "Concentré d'Orange Verte" by Hermès, "Néroli Amara" by Van Cleef & Arpels, "Eau Sauvage" by Dior, "Eau de Rochas Homme" by Rochas, "Néroli Intense" by Jeanne en Provence, "Monsieur" by Givenchy and "4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser" by Mühlens.
Wanted to step into the Replica store but was in a hurry to board at Charles de Gaulle last week. Caught a fleeting glimpse. I'm sure they would have had Floral aldehydes.
The very best citrus fragrance was GIORGIO ARMANI Pour Homme. Amazing fragrance! Rich and joyous and hopeful...Wore it for over 25 years. Too bad Armani decided to stop making it, probably because their profit margin was too thin for their liking, as it was manufactured in Montreal. They tried replacing it with a cheaper version, but almost no one fell from it, and shortly after they discontinued the line.
Holy Crap, you have a Fragrance Channel too??!!?!?!! No Way. That's so cool. My Scent Of The Day today is Terralba by Masque Milano. SO good for warm weather like it was today here in Toronto. I do love my aromatic leaning classy frags. I barely have any perfumes here with citrus in it but i do love my Legend Man from Arabian Oud. Escentric 01 by Escentric Molecules is great for those minimalist days. Also LOVE my vintage bottle of Dune by Dior that actually says "Christian Dior" on the label. That's a great no brainer dumb reach for me. Hmmmm, might just throw it on now for my Scent Of The Night. Cheers.
Performance is always the issue with this kind of fragrances. I have a massive crush on Dior Homme Cologne... But it won't last 2 hours on me 😭. This year I'll go with AdP "Mirto di Panarea". Recently I tried Lutens's new release "parole d'eau" which I also liked a lot, and doesn't vanish in the blink of an eye. I finished a sample of "petit matin", which has a quite decent longevity. Apparently simple lemony white shirt kind of a fragrance but oh my... these clean muscs are lovely! MFK's unfairly forgotten one 😉
I don't think the name Under the Lemon Trees is misleading. The green and petigrain replicates the rest of the tree along with the lime to replicate the lemon fruit. I suspect actual lemon note wasn't used so as to skew the whole effect to a combination of green tree and tart fruit. Performance is OK for me. I don't think AdP Fico di Amalfi leans feminine. Unisex, but if anything it leans slightly masculine due to its cologne associations, as most citrus aromatics do. The use of tobacco in a summer freshie like the Ormand Jane is also done in the unique Roja Burlington 1819.
Thanks for this. If you can get hold of any, Thierry Mugler - Orange Zest is fantastic and is my favourite ‘every now and then’ fragrance for the summer. Shame it was a limited edition!
A few favorites: Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil and en Mediterranee, 4711, Jo Malone Lime Basil Mandarin, Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Mandarin Basilic, Comme des Garçons Vetiveru and Soda, Creed Jardin d’Amalifi and my favorite cheapie: Demeter Gingerale
Nice concept again before summer. I also like and use Versace Pour Homme. Also Versace Man Eau Fraiche, Creed Aventus Cologne, Escentric Molecules-Escentric 05 and as a cheapy Zara Eclat de Bergamote.
A buddy sent me Mancera Lemon Mint and AdParma Colonia decants. Only 2 I’ve tried from those lines. Amazing! Out of my actual collection, I think Virgin Island Water is my top citrus
Judging by Courtney's classic look, it's still plenty cold out there. I enjoyed the recommendations. Gotten a couple of Acqua di Parma samples over the last year and they are gorgeous but not always the most performant. Same can be said for Margiela, but for me, after a month or sixs weeks, they start lasting a bit longer.
Bring back the hot chicks. No one really cares about you two doing the thorough, polite, conscientious thing. We want to see a parade of beautiful women being honest about various fragrances, period. Like what you've done before.
I love Atelier Cologne's Clementine California and Orange Sanguine! It's too bad L'Oreal decided to pull them out of the North American market 😭

Also my choice : Profumum Roma Acqua Viva
Chanel allure Homme Sport Edition Blanche is a great as well
Total banger! The lemon top notes are so well done
My fave citrus fragrances for this summer are afternoon swim by LV and Terre D’Hermes Eau Givree by Hermes! Bangers!
These are by far the best most realistic Summer perfumes.
Hermes has a lot of great fresh / citrusy fragrances…
Eau de Citron Noir is one of my favorite.
Total fan of Hermes. Un Jardin sur le Nil and Un Jardin en Mediteranee are my personal favorites, and some of my favorite scents of all time
L’occitane - Cap Cedrat is also a nice citrus style scent.
I prefer "Concentré d'Orange Verte" by Hermès, "Néroli Amara" by Van Cleef & Arpels, "Eau Sauvage" by Dior, "Eau de Rochas Homme" by Rochas, "Néroli Intense" by Jeanne en Provence, "Monsieur" by Givenchy and "4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser" by Mühlens.
4711 slaps! It’s the platonic ideal of cologne
Wanted to step into the Replica store but was in a hurry to board at Charles de Gaulle last week. Caught a fleeting glimpse. I'm sure they would have had Floral aldehydes.
Fico di Almafi is a masterpiece even though the performance is not so great
Been wanting a Versace for summer and keep hearing about Pour Homme - thanks you two for the insight!
Terre d'hermes has a powerful bitter grapefruit.
I smelled the Hermes fragrence yesterday and it reminded me of pickle juice with a hint of ginger. Not a fan.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

What do you call what Courtney is wearing in this video? Is that like a scarf or some kind of tie for women?

Trying to find similar to TSAR, a VanCleef&Arpel discontinued product
The Hermes one always reminded me of sweaty feet...I think Jean Claude Ellena did this one lol
Fico di Amalfi is a wonderful fragrance but yeah its longevity is poor.
My favourites in that category are Atelier Cologne´s Orange Sanguine, Tom Ford´s Sole di Positano, Roja Dove Oceania.

Why does my cologne smell better on my leather watch strap than it does on me?
Can you do a basics video for those just getting into this hobby?
I think Hermes Eau de pamplemousse rise is a real good one. It smells so good.
where is issey
my fav is burberry the beat but i want to try hermes
Agree with Phillip H that title should read seven not eight.
Great suggestions y'all! Thanks!
Thanks Dave!
Concentree d’Orange Vert does not last very long in the heat. My pick from Hermes is Citron Noir. Have you tried it?
Have tried but have not worn extensively. How is the performance on you?
@@BaldassarreFragrance Citron noir? It projects very well and lasts for more than 8 hours on my skin.
Hello, Hermes Citron Noir is a make me happy fragrance, i love it!!
Judging by Courtney's classic look, it's still plenty cold out there. I enjoyed the recommendations. Gotten a couple of Acqua di Parma samples over the last year and they are gorgeous but not always the most performant. Same can be said for Margiela, but for me, after a month or sixs weeks, they start lasting a bit longer.
Nah, it's not cold back home...I think it just her dressing up a lil
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loved then zippies in courtney. She covering em up, why?
“Things of this sort.” Yeah…”citrus” like you said in the beginning.
Bring back the hot chicks.

She's hot!
