Italian Citrus

I have been wearing this a full month and enjoy it immensely. A very rich citrus with excellent performance.Someone mentioned chewing gum but this kinda reminds me of a citrus starburst for some reason. I've gotten unsolicited compliments from both men and woman....very happy ...if u dig around u can get it for 105$. If your a citrus lover i think u must check this...I do also get a soapy johnson and johnson vibe but in a very good way.... i have been switching between this and xerjoff 1861....its beeen a very good summer :) and the one from beautyhabit.com for 106.00 is an EDP not EDC like it says

A warm and zesty citrus scent with an interesting, twisty opening of something a bit industrial (in a good way). After having sampled a lot of citrus fragrances, I rate this one highly. It's juicy with a thick middle that nicely lingers. Completely gender inclusive, it manages to be uplifting and aromatic whilst also sticking around thanks to a musky base. Layered with Crystal Pistil, it's elevated further, adding top notes of sweet, bright neroli.

This really impressed me! I get lemon and orange from this more than anything--perfectly bright and definitely unisex. It's a lovely citrus: you get some of the sharpness but it's also softened by the musk without becoming sugary-sweet, somehow. It doesn't have crazy sillage but I was still catching whiffs here and there at the end of the work day, and when I actually smelled my wrists 12 hours after application it was still there!

I love DS and Durga but unfortunately their scents do not last at all. They are very light and honestly great for layering. This is definitely a luxury product for how much you need to use and how often you need to reapply. This one is the same story. Absolutely beautiful, smells like a lemon summer. But it is so light. Great brand for people who get bothered by scents easily

Clean, delicious and freshly showered with Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo--just divine on the skin. The citrus radiates a feeling of ambrosial comfort. Ambrette gives a lovely botanical muskiness. I'd gravitate toward any man wearing this. Simple, pure and beautifully modest. Unisex too--perhaps a little generic, but I love wearing it.

You are the granita man - a hot Italian summer night - cobblestone Amalfi streets - white linen pants sticking to the sweat behind your knees - lightly sweet lemon juice drying around your mouth and stinging the cracks in your sunburnt lips - a hint of amaro at the back of your throat - a cigar not too far in your future

Italian Citrus EDP is a delightful citrus fragrance. It smells fresh and clean. At first spray I smell a sharp blood orange, lemon/citrus. Soon it dries down to a perfectly rounded citrus fragrance. I am a huge fan of citrus based fragrances and I love this one. Perfect for the summer months here in South Florida.

Really classy citrus EDP. Beautiful sharp citrus opening - feel like I've just stepped out of a bath of blood oranges. Decent longevity and though just on the male side of unisex, the other half loves it as do I on her. Sorry Allure Edition Blanche, this stunner has taken your summer number one spot.

A bit of a disappointment ... It was a blind buy. How can I go wrong with any perfume that suggests a heavy mix of citrus notes? Additionally, I like DS Durga perfumes. Sadly, Italian Citrus is not what I expected. I was expecting a heavy sweet cocktail of citrus. However, IC is actually citrus-shy. I don’t perceive a distinctive trace of the citrus trifecta: lemon, lime, or bergamot. I certainly don’t get mandarine, which is usually a sweet citrus note. The citrus scent is rather tame and leans heavily on the green-citrus side of the spectrum. All I get is a bitter green citrus smell, not the customary citrus sweetness I get from other citrus perfumes. The citrus scent I get reminds me of the green orange trees my mother planted at our house when I was growing up. I smell the green orange leafs, twigs, and branches. Italian Citrus is very clean-musky. It's got a lot of that clean white musk note that I don't particularly care for. So there is nothing here that I particularly look forward to wearing under the hot sun in Florida. Perfumers, be careful when stamping a suggestive olfactory name or word on a perfume. If you include words such as citrus, oud, amber, tobacco, rose, Santal, etc, etc, etc to a perfume name, something that sets an olfactory expectation, then make sure the perfume celebrates and has in its limelight the suggested smell. Not the best and most refreshing citrus perfume for me. If you like a bitter green citrus perfume with a lot of white musks, try this one. If you are looking for a refreshing sweet citrus perfume, probably try Eau d'Hadrien by Annick Goutal or Profumo Roma’s Aqua Viva. A different one I really enjoyed from a relatively new house of late is Maison Crivelli’s Citrus Batikanga.

A bougie sea side country club in the midsummers afternoon. After your workout and subsequent shower, you sit on the porch of the clubhouse sipping on the lemon infused water they keep in the lobby to rehydrate and refresh before facing the day. The fresh zest of the gym cologne you brought, the clean and fuzzy bathrobe, and the smell of the fresh cut grass mixing together as your skin is heated up by the sun towering above. Life is good. Probably one of the simplest scents from DS and Durga (not that it’s a bad thing), but it fully encapsulates the post gym/shower smell in the summer. A pleasant medley of citrus, smooth and clean musk, and a ozonic/fresh cut grass backbone. It’s like you mixed bits of “Cologne” by ELDO, “Green Irish Tweed” by Creed, and “You” by Glossier. This would make a really good gym fragrance if it wasn’t $210 at retail. Overall a VERY easy wear, but the opening on paper can come off a bit rubbery (this goes away on my skin). 6/10 Moderate projection and sillage.

This is a beautiful, high quality and well blended fragrance from Ds & Durga. It opens with a burst of citrus - not sweet but zesty and green, with a tiny bit of bitterness. I love the lemon in this - I’m not usually into lemon but it is super refreshing. I don’t personally get the incense, but the balsam resin and oak moss are there and there’s no hint of citrus cleaning products in this fragrance at ALL. My partner bought this for me not realising it’s supposed to be a scent for men (I’m a woman), but although it’s a little on the masculine side it’s quite unisex. I see what they were going for with the fresh out of the shower mens cologne feel and this is 100% the vibe it’s giving. I can’t wait to wear this in summer, it’s so cooling and refreshing.

Italian Citrus is a very nice peppery citrus mix with the addition of musk (I smell some pine as well, though it's not in the note breakdown). This is a very masculine, mature fragrance and I find it very enjoyable. It does remind me of Terre D'Hermes a bit due to the citrus and pepper, however this one is a lot more clean due to the lack of vetiver that is in Terre D'Hermes. Sadly, as it is nothing really new and special, the price asked for it is a bit too steep. There are many citrus fragrances that have the same depth for a lower price, so I couldn't see myself getting a whole bottle for myself or as a gift to anyone else.

A modern refreshing take on classic eau-de-cologne, this "safe" beauty from DSD combines notes of citrus, orange, lemon, mandarin, ambrette and musk to create a light airy and masculine beauty that pleasantly freshens without overwhelming. Moderate in sillage and long lasting this is a really inoffensive and clean smelling scent that can be worn actually by either genders in almost any setting. A real classic offering from this eclectic line, a must for citrus musk lovers, and beautifully blended.

Limonceeelloooo. Very fizzy, almost thick, syrupy, yellow-white top notes, Amalfi lemon sorbet-like revisited trou normand, candied citron. All of this little world is quickly followed by something sweeter, white tea type, ambrette, musky hint, which turns the lemon into a clementine, with the green leaf-branch combo left hanging. Not the most amazing of their collection, but nice and well-balanced.

A safe, clean, musky fragrance. Pretty relaxed and unassuming. For my own tastes, quite boring but well executed. I think it has a beautiful dry down/skin scent stage which easily brings this up to a 7.5, but I have to say the majority of when you notice the fragrance it isn't that interesting. I absolutely love the dry down, though, it is deliriously relaxing. 6/10

It's clean but it's very sweet - almost bubblegum-like. It's nice but it's so faint, it has absolutely no presence at all. It's like sweet-smelling water. Lasts less than a full hour on my skin with absolutely no projection. Definitely a skin scent. Not worth the price tag by any stretch of the imagination, I'm afraid.

Italian Citrus is a delightfully clean, zesty, ever-so-slightly-sweet and slightly musky understated scent. Nothing earth shattering or ground breaking, to be sure. However, it wafts softly around you and wraps you in a nice scented bubble. It's marketed toward men, but I'd totally wear this and enjoy it.

Go girl give us nothing. It's super similar to Coriander and Bistro Waters, but where Coriander is one note and lovely and Bistro is complicated and grows on you, Italian Citrus is kind of a nothing burger. It's nice on card and it's fine on skin. Just doesn't stand out in any specific way.

Not much else to add here that hasn't already been said, but this is definitely DS's safest option...no one would not like this, and it's very light, more musky than fruity to my nose...worth trying if you like light, inoffensive background perfumes, something we all need once in awhile...

pleasingly dark and bitter and a little boozy on me in a nice contrast to the one-note brightness of most citrus scents; mediterranean holiday but once the sun has gone down and you've had to shrug a shirt on over your white linen to go out for cocktails
