I think the emailer will really enjoy discovering them. THANK YOU! Victoria, heh, yeah. I especially cracked up at the party scenes. I kept expecting some sort of perfumey key party to break out, heh.

I was laughing out loud at several points, but overall it is definitely very different from the current way of selling perfume. What a fun movie!

How about good, old-fashioned Roger et Gallet's Imperiale Extra-Vielle ? If you like your citrus with a green, herbaceous note, try L'Artisan's L'eau de L'Arisan-a little basil and violet leaf with your verbena? Dior's Eau Sauvage? Piney freshness with citrus, as in Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet?...there are many twists to this one- I hope this helps. Good Morning!

The ones that did capture my attention and I enjoyed wearing are: * Citron Citron (Miller Harris) - astringent lime/lemon/bitter orange citrus, spiked with cardamom and coriander, mint and basil and underlined by a smooth and dry cedar and musk. * Oyedo (Diptyque) - a cheerful and sweet citrus, with yuzu as a main note. It's a deeply hued citrus, grapefruit-like but much richer and complex. * O de Lancome (Lancome, of course) - lemon leaf as a central theme with a backdrop of chypre. A classic. * Eau Sauvage (Dior) - another chyprish citrus. Even more so a classic. * Le Parfum de Therese - a cheerful, complex chypre with very bright and fruity citrus presence - lemon, melon and sour plum and a shining jasmine. Light chypre base and a hint of spice. This is even more than a classic. It's just perfect. * 4711 - it's a classic, and very cheap and easy to find. It's very light and you can almost literally drink it... Mostly neroli, petitgrain, lemon, bitter orange, and a hint of rosemary. Musky base but very light. Talking from the heart of a citrus-dweller, I think you will enjoy every single one of these (well, maybe not all, but for sure most), so at least give them a try...

And your mention of Fleurs d'Oranger suddenly makes me remember Czech and Speake's simple but lovely Neroli. The cologne suggestions are good, too, since sometimes we all need a little musk in our lives. (Which I was trying to get with my Lang rec, but it's not as easy to find anymore.)

I promise I'll stop. I love citrus in fragrance, but many folks don't. Orange tends to fade quickly, and often shows up with a soapy note. The lemons/limes are always great on me, but I get the notion that they can go off in a cat-pee direction on the less fortunate. PPS. I promise I’ll stop.
