White Citrus

I just recently ordered this and I’m in love! The notes are lemon zest, sparkling grapefruit, ginger flower, freesia petals and clean woods. This is a super refreshing and light grapefruit, citrusy scent! It’s a light, not sharp or screechy grapefruit that is beautifully balanced by the fresh, slightly sweet lemon and very light floral notes and woods notes. It’s not particularly sweet, but is still girly, light, and fresh. I’m going to love this for spring and summer :) I think this would be lovely paired with my Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh which also has a grapefruit note but is super sweet.

Simple COLD & ZESTY CITRUS. Opens with a burst of cold citrus that leans to white grapefruit. Expanding into the heart, it takes on zesty, watery & floral nuances. Has a refreshing simplicity. Has reminders for me of 4711 Acqua Colonia Lime & Nutmeg, Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria & Light Blue Dolce & Gabbana. Affordable and a beautiful in its simplicity, this has average performance for a light summer wearing experience that can be extended by layering over its matching body lotion. This is the perfect scent to wear on a hot day. Enjoy!

fresh, clean citrus scent that you can't go wrong.

White Citrus is quite simplistic to my nose, and I'm surprised that there are so many notes listed here. I don't detect half of these at all. I do think this befits it's name, as it does smell quite "white". It's never been orangey to me, but simply a clear (but not bitter) grapefruit, leading into clean white florals, and ending with a laundry musk scent. It only has the faintest hints of spice, but it has never struck me as gingery. It's exceedingly clean, but still has a touch of B&BW's signature sweetness throughout the wear experience. It evokes moods of 4 star hotels/spas, but *specifically* 4 stars and not 3, nor 5...because this is undoubtedly nice, but it isn't expensive smelling. Yet, it's not cheap or junky either. It's refreshing and definitely one for a relieving experience during high heat. It's also a one of those fragrances where I puzzle how anyone could have a strong negative response to, it's just so mass appealing (and unisex) that I feel that it's safe for anything from bedtime to the office 🌞 (Cross posted to other entries.)

Sometime in middle school, I got a small bottle of this when it was first released. Bright grapefruit and lemon zest, a little ginger in there somewhere. My mom adored it- said it smelled like Phoenix, AZ at night- back when a lot of what is city now was acres of orange orchards. B+BW shelved the scent for years, so when it reappeared, I was thrilled to revisit it. I don't think its the same now. It's much lighter and less deep, but still very fresh and fun. I spray it before long study or work sessions because it feels energizing. Sillage and Longevity are almost nonexistent, but I still like this scent enough to keep it on my shelf.
