Citron de Vigne Fresh for women and men

I recently got a free sample of this and it is very nice and light but maybe a bit too faint for me. It is perfect for summertime but in the cold weather I need something stronger. I tried the lemon sugar and thought that was nice too.

A perfect combination of citrus, wood and a subtle amount of patchouli. Citrus to lift the spirits, wood and patchouli to make it interesting.

The sillage is almost nil, though, so definitely something I wear just for myself.

Staying power not so good either, but I keep a vial in my purse and reapply several times a day, which I enjoy doing.

Very happy with it. I'll buy another bottle when this one runs out.

Ashtray oriental at first, which has got to be the neroli, but it smooths out quickly to a bitter/fresh citrus blend that rings more true than most citrus scents out there. There are leather, green and wood notes to keep in layered and it ends just lovely and almost French, a glittering citrus gem. I wouldn't normally use the term elegant for a citrus scent, but this one earns it.

This is a fun little citrus fragrance. Starts off smelling like a citrus wine spritzer. . . think white sangria, with a sour punch. The jasmine starts to come through on me after a while... and sticks around! I expected low staying power (as with other Fresh scents), but this one is still floating on my skin hours later!

I've been wearing this every day, despite not really liking it because it's my only travel size fragrance at the moment. I got a small freebie from Fresh at its promotion a little while ago.

Top note is definitely neroli, which I really don't like. The pinot/grape note balances it out a lot though. I wish there was less citrus and more of the sandalwood base. For some reason, I smell a bit of rose, not sure what that is...

It definitely doesn't last all day on me but still exists after 4 or so hours. A little goes a long way, as a cloud develops upon first spritz. That's annoying.

i love fresh mangosteen and sugar lychee too much you must have

Fresh CITRON DE VIGNE is a beautiful aromatic woody fragrance which I would love to wear all summer. Unfortunately, I'd have to spray or splash it several times each day, as the staying power is rather poor. Still, it's a nice and novel twist on the lemon aromatic cologne genre.

The fragrance opens bright and citrusy, with both fresh lemon (not the oil which creates the dreaded "lemon pledge" effect...) and grapefruit detectably present. The floral notes, neroli and jasmine, mingle with a so-called "pinot noir" note, by which I believe is meant the variety of grape, as there is no darkness or heaviness whatsoever. Nor is this composition sweet at all. The drydown is slightly woody, with both cedar and sandalwood, in addition to birch tree leaves (according to the company lit.).

What is missing is a fixative that might sustain this beautiful composition for a reasonable amount of time. CITRON DE VIGNE has good sillage, while it lasts!

Love love, love; citrusy, complex, light, sophisticated, yet refreshing. But as chance25 has stated, no lasting power whatsoever. Not even an hour. My advice: Buy the soap or body wash version instead.

This was sort of a departure from the zingy lemon of sugar lychee, lemon sugar, and sugar. Instead it's more of a mellow, light almost mossy floral. There is a dry sweetness I smell for the most part. Just as pitbull friend mentioned there is no lasting power. I mean none. The dry down is sort of musky, but overall a pleasant perfume. I may have to have a FB because it reminds me of my very first perfume.

I've really enjoyed this, especially in the coolness of winter. It's woody in the way neroli is woody and it's tart like lime. Very well-blended and easy to wear.
