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 Cedrat Fragrance and Skin Care Collection for Men
I love a L’Occitane fragrance with my all time favourite being Eau des Baux with it’s vanilla, cypress and peppery incense. They’re always so different and particularly with men’s fragrance, break the mould and go beyond the norms of traditional masculine scents. Cedrat is no exception! When you think of Cedrat you’d be forgiven for thinking this is another…

LUSH Ltd Dear John & Dad’s Garden
It’s always a treat to play with LUSH Ltd fragrances and embarrassingly I’ve been sat on these for quite a while! The three fragrances are part of Volume 3 of Gorilla Fragrances which if you’ve yet to experience, firstly you really have to and secondly I reviewed some of the earlier editions here when they launched…

Ormonde Jayne Zizan Eau de Parfum
Ormonde Jayne Zizan is a solid men’s fragrance. I’ve been wearing it this week in contrast to some of the sweeter, more caramel fragrances I’ve been wearing recently (Spice Bomb Extreme, Serge Lutens, Replica Jazz Club and Frapin 1697). Zizan takes the elements of traditional men’s fragrance such as vetiver, cedar, musk, sage and amber…

NEW Jo Malone London: The Herb Garden
I’ve got to be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve really fallen in love with a Jo Malone London limited edition collection; always remembering that god-awful macaroon and cake range they did a couple of years back with the subtly and sophistication of a cat wearing a rainbow-unicorn onesie. However, The Herb Garden is something a…

Revisited: Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada Natural Spray
You might have seen on Tweeper and/or the Facebooks that I’m currently out blogging in Barcelona, my most favouritist city in the whole wide world; I also came out and blogged here a few times in 2012 as well as working with a particular brand on their launch and with such fond memories, I associated…

Crabtree & Evelyn Sevillian Neroli Eau de Cologne
Part of the Heritage Fragrance Collection, I’m a little in love with Crabtree & Evelyn Sevillian Neroli Eau de Cologne. I’ve been wearing this on and off since Christmas and have found it so safe yet so unusual and so familiar yet so unique. It’s undoubtedly unisex with enough lighter top notes to lift it…

Jo Loves Green Orange & Coriander Bath Cologne
I wanted to create a product that looked and felt the same as pouring cologne into the bath. After two years of trying, I have finally pioneered and perfected an entirely new luxury bathing experience. I wanted to sit writing this fresh; feeling fresh and with the Jo Loves Green Orange & Coriander Bath Cologne…

L’Occitane Cèdre & Oranger
Well overdue and apologies that even though this has been sat in my pile for a couple of months, I’ve omitted to share it with you. Part of La Collection de Grasse, you may remember my interview with the collection’s creator Karine Dubreuil who sneaked a clue that for Christmas 2013, there’d be a targeted…
