17 Citrus Perfumes To Make Your Summer Days Even Brighter
In the artful world of perfumery, citrus top notes are often the first to fizzle and fade. Though these lightweight aromas tend to disappear more quickly than their heavier bases, when they are still dancing around in your senses, the essences of grapefruit, bergamot, lime, and the like tend to bring an overwhelming sense of vibrance and joy.Some citrus perfumes, in fact, just so happen to be proven mood boosters. Charlotte Tilbury’s newest Joyphoria scent, for example, uses neroli oil to offer uplifting benefits. Similarly, Being Frenshe — which was founded by early 2000s icon and actor Ashley Tisdale — has a Citrus Amber Perfume Oil on offer that taps lemon and clementine to embody the infectious energy of the sun.For those who prefer to invest in more luxurious signature scents to get their citrus fix, Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche is a beloved citrusy fragrance that has stood the test of time, while Tom Ford’s Neroli Portofino basically smells like an Amalfi Coast vacation in a bottle. But really, that’s just the beginning.
