Heeley has one called Oranges and Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clements which I haven't smelled but sounds right. Guerlain Habit Rouge or Heritage

grapefruit - Guerlain has Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune (with vanilla and patchouli, a little fem), Hermes Pamplemouse Rose (note it's an edC), Jo Malone Grapefruit

lime - Tom Ford Lime Azuree (I think it totally lacks), Bond #9 Central Park, Jo malone Sweet Lime & Cedar, and some lime/coconut in Virgin Island Water

Orange - Hermes Concentree D'Orange Vert, of course Aqua Di Parma Colognia Intensa, Bond #9 Little Italy, Creed Orange Spice, Frederic Malle Bigarade ConcentrÃ

e

Pineapple? - Creed Aventus

Neroli - Le Labo, Tom Ford

Blood Orange - Dyptique Eau De Torocco (sp?)

Clemantines - Varvatos Artisan


I'm sure there's a lot more out there

I'll throw Balmain Monsieur onto the citrus (lemon) pile, which is usually obtainable very cheaply. There is also Marc Jacobs Lemon splash (one of those giant 250ml jobs, which is decent for the money and has been at TJMaxx/Marshall's for $19.99), CdG Series 3: Citrico, and Creed Bois de Cedrat.

Creed Neroli Sauvage, Cartier Declaration, Guerlain Flora Nerolia.

Classic colognes like Guerlain Imperial, Cologne Sologne (PdN), etc. are also citrus-based. You could even get a gallon of that 4711 stuff, which lasts about 7 minutes, but is fun for at least 6 of them. (haha)

Speaking of citrus-based (but not really niche), today it's Terre d'Hermes. Another one that I hardly wear, it's solid and nice, but the lack of animal notes kinda makes it one-dimensional.

Clinique Happy for Men. It's bright, sunny, and almost 70 degrees outside.

Haters gonna hate.

Taking advantage of the snowy weather to wear Michael Kors today.

PS To the poster looking for citrus, Outrageous! has a sweet lime citrus feel to it.

It's really quite a lovely layering experience... it retains the leather/citrus spice of the Hermes, but brings in the darker, sort of smutty musk. Really quite lovely. Take that, you MKK fans!

I managed to get smut and funk without resorting to either civet OR cumin.
