Great hot weather scent. After it settles in, I find myself saying, “something smells good” and realize it’s me. The dry down is a powdery white musk to my nose. It has a longevity of about 6 hrs and it’s a moderate sillage. So disappointed to know its been discontinued but that’s BBW M.O.

White Citrus is one of my longstanding favorites – in testimony, I have a bottle of the EDT on my dresser and the largest-available tube of the body cream on my nightstand. I always reach for it when I’m right out of the shower, because it’s so fresh and bright, with a hint of zesty warmth. I’ve never thought, “I can’t wear this today” – it always suits the situation, no matter what the event or season – its juicy freshness is refreshing in hot weather while its ginger warmth is inviting when it’s cool. And it’s so easy to layer. While the scent is intended as feminine, my brother has spritzed it on himself a number of times in passing and we both feel that it works nicely on him, too. It’s uplifting and relaxing, and casual but classy in its clean simplicity.
The opening is very intensely lemony, in a green lemongrass sort of way, and then it’s only a few seconds before grapefruit and more complex notes unfold, including a distant white floral backdrop, and it settles as a lovely green-citrus-ginger-musk. Impressively it manages to be very clean and lemony without any undertones of detergent or bathroom cleaner, as so many lemon scents fall prey to. Personally I’d categorize the fragrance as a citrus or even citrus aromatic fragrance more than a floral fruity – this scent is all about the fresh citrus, with a kick of ginger spice, a whisper of heady floral, and a musky dry-down. On me it has gentle sillage and moderate lasting power – as another reviewer mentioned, pretty great as far as citrus longevity goes.
I was so sad to realize that it was no longer available on the website, and I’ve been carefully meting out the last of my old opaque white EDT bottle. I can happily layer it with just about any perfume, oil, or lotion with a bit of citrus, and it always plays nicely, but it’s also perfect all on its own. Grateful to have had this – to still have this – in my arsenal. It’s a burst of joy every time.

I really enjoy the spicy element to this strong citrus freshness of a scent. ☺ It adds a depth and a sharpness to it without making it harsh; it is soothing and some how invigorating at the same time…and even has a slight hint of sexy playfulness to it in my opinion. The longevity is surprising, it really sticks around to a more subtle dry down with just the right amount of sillage as well. I am always asked and complimented when wearing this lovely fragrance.

“White Citrus” by Bath and Body Works (BBW) has an energizing and natural grapefruit note and I enjoy that citrus working in accordance with the clean clear musk and the green notes of the lily of the valley and spicy freesia. But my oh my do I miss those rose and ginger nuances. Perhaps I’ll give it a spritz again in the morning to try and discern these two scents, since I am wearing heavy hitter “Dune” at the moment by Christian Dior, so I don’t want to say BBW is missing elements mentioned in the tier. It is bright hot today in my Caribbean world and “White Citrus” just made it a more refreshing place to be.

The best word to describe this fragrance is “refreshing.” I think that if it were just a pure citrus scent, it might smell a bit sour or overly tart, but the ginger and floral notes enter subtly enough to make this quite lovely and keep it from smelling like a household cleaner.
Side note: this is the fragrance I always wear if I’m going to spend a whole day outside in the heat, like at a theme park – I carry it in my bag and spritz it on when I get sweaty, so that I don’t stink. 🙂

This is one of a handful of scents I like from BBW. I really like this scent for spring or summer. I tend to like lemon or citrus scents, as long as they don’t smell like a cleaning agent! This one is great…it is pretty basic and makes me happy!

I hope White Citrus is never discontinued from Bath & Body Works. It’s my favorite plain citrus kind of scent. It’s not too chemical and sharp so that it smells like cleaning product. It smells like lemon juice, but less tart which is a refreshing and clean way to smell. White Citrus isn’t bitter or sour. It feels casual and relaxing. Citrus notes don’t last well, but on its own White Citrus last up to three hours in eau de toilette concentration, which isn’t good lasting power in comparison to many perfumes, but is good lasting power for such a predominantly citrus scent, and it can be layered with matching lotion as all Bath & Body Works perfumes can be. I think White Citrus is unisex and can work for all ages. I’m sure a good, maybe even better lemon scent can also be found at a niche price point but White Citrus is approximately 30-40 USD.

I love citrus and am longing for a fresh, light scent for spring. And one of my best friends in the world — we call each other sisters — wears this. She’s always been way smarter and more mature than I am (LOL) so I was very keen to try this fragrance.
Unfortunately, on me it quite sharp and a little more masculine than I like. My bff may like unisex fragrances — I haven’t seen her in years but she’s very witty and practical. However, I’m much more girly so I was looking for something sweeter. Citrus and ginger are probably her style, but I was craving a bit of pear or maybe honey.
Anyway, I tried the body spray on my arm and it started very lemon-zesty, quickly turning to a sharpish men’s cologne. It faded fast, which in this case was a good thing. It would be excellent as a room spray.

Good citrus mix, particularly well done grapefruit note. Refreshing, easily unisex — the floral isn’t really overwhelming. The citrus notes are really the stars of the fragrance. Good for office or casual day time wear. Lasts pretty well for a primarily citrus scent 3-4 hours.

The freesia is a little strong for me personally, but I still enjoy this energizing scent. It’s simple, clean, and pleasant.

Arguably the current most popular unisex fragrance from B&BW, White Citrus is surprisingly crisp, juicy, and lucid for an inexpensive mall scent. It’s mostly grapefruit and freesia, with a very vague and faint ginger note tucked into those white-musky greens. The grapefruit is accented with lemon, but here the two notes are so similar that it’s nigh impossible to discern them separately. Think of it as one big “fresh” citrus accord that someone threw together. It doesn’t smell like there was a ton of work put into it, but White Citrus smells good as a year-round safe scent. If you’re serious about citrus though, you’re better off looking into the works of Roudnitska and Ellena, where the true depth and beauty of citrus is explored, not just the basic premise.
