Citrine

This is my fav scent!! I randomly obtained a tiny bottle of this when I was a kid and rediscovered it a few years ago, the smell instantly hit me and I remembered why I stowed it away. I find this scent to be so comforting yet sophisticated, it is fresh but settles down into something more intimate and almost anticipatory, if that makes any sense at all. The best way I can encapsulate this scent is that it makes me feel free. Citrine stays on the skin nicely but is not too abrasive, it especially stays well when sprayed on clothes and I really recommend the roller ball for direct application. I’ll be honest, I never thought it smelled like dish soap until I read the reviews, and yeah, the top notes are a little soapy but I don’t think that’s a bad thing. It’s more like the freshness most dish soaps try to replicate than any chemical smell.

I tried Citrine years ago and really disliked it. I don't know if I had a bad sample or if it truly just wasn't what I enjoyed at the time. I just tried this out for the first time in at least two years and I am BLOWN AWAY. The opening lemon blossom note is stunning - it's airy and sparkling, a little sweet, but also tangy. I don't know how the longevity is since I literally just applied this fragrance, but I look forward to sampling this more because I really enjoy how it smells. There is something almost sugar crystal sweet in here...like a lemon cupcake with frosting. I'm very impressed by how this smells.

Nest Citrine 3ml Rollerball EDP: Citruses and florals can be hit or miss for me, but this is a lovely bright and cheerful scent. I get opening notes of tart and slightly sweet lemon and orange with undertones of light, fresh florals. It is a really pretty citrus floral for spring, although the longevity is only about 2 hours on me. I adore the beautiful packaging of this fragrance too. I like that I was able to spray and test this fragrance at Sephora before redeeming the free sample. It did not disappoint.

I shockingly love this. The Lemon just gives it that perfect little zing on top of the beautiful florals to make it a peppy, happy, every day, on the go perfume. This would be a great pick to wear to any outdoor parties or events or heck, just sitting on the porch swing watching the kiddos play while drinking fresh lemonade with your gal pals. Out of the sample set I bought I definitely have to say this one is my favorite or atleast top 2. I’ll have to buy a full bottle.

Smells like eating sour lemon candy next to a pool (in a good way, watery not chlorine-y). The dry down is what takes this from linear to more interesting. It dries down to a more unisex woody, almost peppery scent. I really like it. Snagged a 1.7oz bottle for $18 at Nordstrom Rack. Sadly I think it is discontinued. If you want something a little brighter that stays sweet and citrusy the whole wear, try Sunflower Pop by Floral Street.
