Citrus & Cologne Men’s Fragrance Reviews
Citrus & Cologne Men’s Fragrances blend the zesty, refreshing notes of citrus fruits with the classic, clean undertones of traditional cologne. This category is celebrated for its invigorating and vibrant scents, often featuring top notes of lemon, orange, or grapefruit, combined with a subtle, elegant base of woods, spices, or musk. These fragrances are perfect for everyday wear, offering a crisp and uplifting aroma that’s particularly appealing in warmer seasons.
The appeal of Citrus & Cologne fragrances extends beyond their refreshing scent profile; they’re also known for their versatility and wide appeal. While they are primarily marketed towards men, their fresh and uncomplicated nature makes them a popular choice for anyone who appreciates a light, rejuvenating fragrance. This category represents a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity, ideal for those who value a classic yet contemporary scent.

L’Occitane Lemon Verbena (Citrus Verbena)
As things are hotting up in Summer, you really cannot go wrong with a citrus, Mediterranean-style cologne to cool you down, feel refreshed and maybe even bridge that tiny gap your deodorant might not keep up to.

Neom Energy Burst Eau de Parfum and Scent Discovery Test
I recently heard someone say that fragrances using 100% natural notes are not real fragrances, but soup. Whilst I found this pretty funny; Neom Energy Burst Eau de Parfum must be the chef’s special at a Michelin Star restaurant. That being said, this fragrance is not clever; there’s no fragrance pyramid or advanced perfumery techniques here,…

My Favourite Budget Fragrance: The Body Shop Kistna
This was the first fragrance I ever owned and to this day is mature, fun and effortlessly wearable. The Kistna men’s fragrance was created in 1743 by Ye Body Shoppe… OK, that’s a lie, but it is one of the brand’s longest serving veterans. It’s formulation is far more elegant and complex than its mere £15/100ml price…

Floris London NEW Private Collection Bergamotto Di Positano
I’ve definitely found my summer splash. Bergamotto Di Positano is a relaunch of the April 2015 hand-poured By Request fragrance, brought into the Private Collection.

Bergamotto di Positano is a homage to Charles Joseph Pagliano, who in the early 19th…
