Citron de Vigne

This is my go-to refreshing summer fragrance. Beautiful citrus reigns over a gorgeous blend of wine and floral - the lightest touch of amber and sandalwood keeps it from being overly sweet or twee. The citrus remains true - hard to find in most citrus based fragrances. The "wine" note is delicate and refreshing, not cloying or overly boozy. While the first blast is strictly citrus and alcohol, this unisex delight quickly settles into a cooling and clean summer scent. Not quite cologne, not quite perfume - somewhere delightfully in the middle. I've kept this beauty a secret for a long time - it's not available in Australia - but it deserves a world wide audience. It has presence - just enough for warm summer evenings under the stars, and lasts for a good 4-5 hours on me which isn't bad. I layer it with it's matching body lotion after a cool shower for more longevity. This truly is a love for me and doesn't really compare to anything in it's class that I've tried. I've got my back up bottles stored away, and have just pulled it out for my summer rotation. Hello old friend - the heat is coming and I've missed you.

This is what to wear in winter if you are feeling the greyness kick-in. Also very nice on a deep fall day, where everything smells like leaves and the first of the fireplaces. Citron de Vigne is bright, without being sweet. A citrus without the lemon and with the tartness. Balanced very nicely with the earthy/herbal flowers add floral tones without any cloyness. The dry-down is incredibly subtle, almost too light to notice. Also, this is an amazing smell for the gentlemen. More used in their bath products, than in the perfume. The body wash and lotion are both fantastic paired with every cologne that my guy uses. And he likes to vary scents as much as I do. Highly recommend for every person on the globe.

This was sort of a departure from the zingy lemon of sugar lychee, lemon sugar, and sugar. Instead it's more of a mellow, light almost mossy floral. There is a dry sweetness I smell for the most part. Just as pitbull friend mentioned there is no lasting power. I mean none. The dry down is sort of musky, but overall a pleasant perfume. I may have to have a FB because it reminds me of my very first perfume. Update: 3/1/2011 I've really enjoyed this, especially in the coolness of winter. It's woody in the way neroli is woody and it's tart like lime. Very well-blended and easy to wear.

I'm a total novice when it comes to fragrance, but liked this and purchased it years ago on a whim. My old uncle was an "old school" guy who loved giving everyone cologne or perfume for Christmas. I spritzed this on once before a 2 hour visit, and as I was leaving he said "I love your perfume; it smells great!" The one and only time he complimented me on a fragrance. It became my favorite after that, but it's discontinued now. "Sigh." I wish I could find a suitable replacement.

This is like a refreshing drink of sweet lemonade on a sweltering summer day. Grapefruit/citrus and then dries down to soft white flowers with a faint orange blossom note prominent. Would not wear this every day but will def keep it handy for high summer.

Fresh CITRON DE VIGNE is a beautiful aromatic woody fragrance which I would love to wear all summer. Unfortunately, I'd have to spray or splash it several times each day, as the staying power is rather poor. Still, it's a nice and novel twist on the lemon aromatic cologne genre. The fragrance opens bright and citrusy, with both fresh lemon (not the oil which creates the dreaded "lemon pledge" effect...) and grapefruit detectably present. The floral notes, neroli and jasmine, mingle with a so-called "pinot noir" note, by which I believe is meant the variety of grape, as there is no darkness or heaviness whatsoever. Nor is this composition sweet at all. The drydown is slightly woody, with both cedar and sandalwood, in addition to birch tree leaves (according to the company lit.). What is missing is a fixative to sustain this beautiful composition for a reasonable amount of time. CITRON DE VIGNE has good sillage, while it lasts!

A perfect combination of citrus, wood and a subtle amount of patchouli. Citrus to lift the spirits, wood and patchouli to make it interesting. The sillage is almost nil, though, so definitely something I wear just for myself. Staying power not so good either, but I keep a vial in my purse and reapply several times a day, which I enjoy doing. Very happy with it. I'll buy another bottle when this one runs out.

This is a fun little citrus fragrance. Starts off smelling like a citrus wine spritzer. . . think white sangria, with a sour punch. The jasmine starts to come through on me after a while... and sticks around! I expected low staying power (as with other Fresh scents), but this one is still floating on my skin hours later!

I recently got a free sample of this and it is very nice and light but maybe a bit too faint for me. It is perfect for summertime but in the cold weather I need something stronger. I tried the lemon sugar and thought that was nice too.

I really lie this one, it is fresh and refreshing and I most definitely don't get any powdery accords. Perfect for a sweltering hot summer's day in New Orleans.

Starts off lemon citrus, then gradually softens into a unique warmer scent. Reminds me of 1969 Histoires de Parfum. Scent doesn't last long though.

A friend was decluttering her fragrances and gave this one to me. I accepted it because I tend to like citrusy fragrances (like fresh's brown sugar). However, I don't really get any citrusy notes from this - it smells so powdery both straight from the bottle and on my skin. Reminds me of perfumed paper or tissues and I don't necessarily want to smell like that. So sad about this one as a lot of people seem to be enjoying it :(

A nicely fresh as the name implies citrus based scent A little sweetness but nothing cloying Overspraying is a must to enjoy it It’s in the weaker side of scents I didn’t feel any special effects or attachments to it More on the generic side if I might add Performance is ok maybe less Not for me

I could have sworn this was a screechy ginger, but I don't see ginger in the notes. Whatever it was, it was searing my nasal passages. Scrubber.

Simplicity; No artificial dyes, no Synthetic candy gourmand, plastic sweetness No Howling Civet or Secretion of Musk and no putting on aristocratic Airs Just a Simple scent you can wear every Day Versatile and Safe Citron de Vigne is far to Casual for Elegance but it has a Minimalistic Bareness Like a Zen Painting Less is More, The Opening Is Intoxicating with Grapefruit But Fades in Seconds after applying on skin It Just Flees never staying in one place But i can Detect i faint note of Lemon There is not a lot to say about this Perfume it's one of those scents that is Unlikely to make History or to make waves because of it's Simpleness But It's a Nice Scent For a Nice Lazy Summer Day.

It starts with grapefruit and orange, although I have to say that the first thing was alcohol but just for two seconds. Then it becomes green with a woody undertone. It's a well made perfume, agreeable but lacks a wow note, something that surprises and turns this fragrance into something more interesting. In the end it smells like a nice soap. clean and fresh. Longevity is an issue, it develops quite quick, going from the top notes to the drydown in a matter of minutes. erhaps you can find similar (and better) scents from The Different Company, which have a higher quality and lasting power.

I've been wearing this every day, despite not really liking it because it's my only travel size fragrance at the moment. I got a small freebie from Fresh at its promotion a little while ago. Top note is definitely neroli, which I really don't like. The pinot/grape note balances it out a lot though. I wish there was less citrus and more of the sandalwood base. For some reason, I smell a bit of rose, not sure what that is... It definitely doesn't last all day on me but still exists after 4 or so hours. A little goes a long way, as a cloud develops upon first spritz. That's annoying.

I tried on the rollerball in Sephora just to see if the scent would last and whether I'd like it -- I did! I've always been a big fan of fresh, crisp citrusy scents and this one hits all the right notes! I probably own more than 10 citrusy fragrances, but this one is one of my favourites. On me, it seems very long lasting too. A great, non-overpowering daytime fragrance for days hanging out with friends or for going to the office.

If you like Elizabeth Arden’s Green Tea, this would fit in that scent wheel. Although EA’s lasts longer; this has virtually zero longevity. Reminds me of a linen spray or a body mist you’d find at a discount store. Bath & Body Work’s mists last longer than this. Love the scent though! Alas, not worth the investment on my budget. If I ever saw it for a steal though, I’d grab it in a hot second.

Ashtray oriental at first, which has got to be the neroli, but it smooths out quickly to a bitter/fresh citrus blend that rings more true than most citrus scents out there. There are leather, green and wood notes to keep in layered and it ends just lovely and almost French, a glittering citrus gem. I wouldn't normally use the term elegant for a citrus scent, but this one earns it.
