Citronnelle & Geranium

I actually adore this fragrance and think it has reasonable longevity, especially for a body spray. It opens with a beautiful powdery but crisp citronella and lemongrass and then some lovely herbal and green notes come to play. It dries down to a lot of neroli and if you're not a neroli lover, skip this one, but I think it's great. It's natural and fresh and green and neroli-happy and doesn't come off as bug spray to me, but I can see it having that effect on the bugs in a natural way. I don't know, maybe I've used some potent bug sprays, and I've likened certain fragrances to bug sprays in the past (and I hate those), but this body spray is wonderful and natural and uplifting and stays and fades fresh. Perfect for warm weather. And I like knowing that wearing this fragrance at least isn't going to draw in the mosquitoes like other perfumes do on me. Contemplating a second bottle before it disappears again. I wish Diptyque would make this one permanent as it's really become a favourite daily go-to for casual daily outdoor life.

I am my local mosquitoes' favorite snack. I don't know if it's blood type or if they just know I'm extra sweet, but they FEAST on me while leaving my companions largely unbothered. I bought this because why not, and you know what, it works pretty well at repelling them. I don't mind coming back inside and getting this on my upholstery/linens, and I don't feel like I need to shower it off immediately because it's non-sticky and I love the scent so much.

I'm sort of obsessed with this fragrance at the moment. I found it because I was interested in Dyptique Geranium, but ended up liking Citronnelle & Geranium better. I especially like the opening with the strong citronella - I have a mosquito repellent that smells similar that I have always liked. I'm thinking drydown is more of the floral - I wish it lasted longer than an hour.

For a 60$ Diptyque edt/body spray, im quite impressed. Nice fragrance and also an insect repellant at the same time! If you spray ligtly and from far away, almost no insect repellant smell, just a nice citrusy lemon grass musk scent. As for longevity quite impressed, about 4 hrs on my skin, and moderate silliage. For the price ill deffinately buy again when available!

I like this fragrance. It lasts longer than the Diptyque Geranium on my skin and is an uplifting and refreshing scent. It lasts about three hours.
