Because summer isn't complete without the energizing citrus scent – in this post I've rounded up some of the best-selling citrus inspired perfumes that are sure to keep you smelling and feeling good all summer long.

MICHAEL KORS SPORTY CITRUS $80.00 (1.7 oz)

Sporty Citrus Eau de Parfum was designed for the effortlessly chic style of the sporty girl on the go. A dazzling burst of citrus with luscious orange flower and a hint of warm woods, the fragrance transitions seamlessly from casual daytime wear to on-the-town elegance.

I love this perfume. I don't have any issues with the staying power like the other customer had. It lasts the same amount of time as my other perfumes. Really great scent - and definitely less sweet but more of an active and exotic smell. Adore it!

TOM FORD AZURE LIME $220.00 (1.7 oz)

Inspired by the island of Mustique, this sparkling eau fraiche fragrance puts a fresh and unexpected spin on classic perfumery essences including vibrant citrus notes, sophisticated florals, warm woods, and sensual musk.

/// USER FEEDBACK

The Tom Ford fragrances are outstanding on their own but some combinations are spectacular when mixed together. Azure Lime and Italian Cypress mixed together is soooo nice. Will make women weak in the knees.

Guerlain L'Instant de Guerlain $78.00 (1 oz)

Instant is reminiscent of your first kiss, the moment you fell in love, the first time you held your child... This soft, sexy scent is an intricate blend of interwoven fragrance harmonies, like citrus honey, magnolia inclusion, and amber harmony, that translates into a scent that's destined to become a classic.

/// USER FEEDBACK

Ordered this based on it's description and I am so in love with it!! It is light in a sense of being powder like, yet strong without overpowering. It is reminiscent of the past, alluring, daring one to come closer to breath in, truly one of a kind. Not for a 1 in a million girl, but for a once in a lifetime woman.

CLINIQUE HAPPY $50.00 (1.7 oz)

A hint of citrus. A wealth of flowers. A mix of emotions. Clinique's bestselling women's fragrance interplays fresh, vibrant notes — ruby red grapefruit, bergamot — with soft, sensual ones — Hawaiian wedding flower, spring mimosa. Wear it and be happy.

/// USER FEEDBACK

I've worn this since college and it is without a doubt my favorite fragrance! It's bright, uplifting, and wonderfully low-maintenance. Clinique has come out with several variations, but the classic Happy is absolutely unbeatable.

Cartier Eau De Cartier Zeste De Soleil $95.00 (3.3 oz)

Bright, fruity notes of citrus create a fragrance that is as playful as it is exotic. Passion fruit, the new unmissable, emblematic fragrance ingredient sublimates the original Eau and evokes warm sands and tropical climes.

Amazing-Amazing eau de parfume! Fresh but elegant and sultry at the same time! I wore it today for the first time and 2 people asked me what parfum I was using! My signature parfume is Jour d'Hermes by Hermes but now I have this one!!!! It last me around 6hrs so very nice lasting power. I love it!

CHANEL CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE Eau de Toilette $100.00 (3.4 oz)

Chance Eau FraÎche, a vibrant incarnation of the unexpected fragrance, now takes on a sparkling freshness. The unexpected floral bursts with a lightness and zest as notes of citrus, Water Hyacinth and Jasmine Absolute are highlighted and energized with woody notes of Amber of Patchouli and Fresh Vetiver.

/// USER FEEDBACK

I'm the queen of roller balls because I can't commit to one scent for very long. This one is the exception. Smells so springy and fresh, I constantly get compliments at work. I even keep a full 1oz bottle in my bag for touch ups!! Love love!!

FRESH CITRON DE VIGNE $50.00 (1 oz)

Inspired by Reims, France's Champagne region, Fresh Citron de Vigne is a crisp, sparkling, sensual blend that is ideal for both men and women. An innovative heart note of pinot noir accord — comprised of bergamot, dark almond, musk, white sandalwood, and rose — is combined with bubbling citrus top notes and an earthy base in this unique, everyday scent.

/// USER FEEDBACK

This is so refreshing! I started with the body wash and have now purchased the full collection in this scent, Citron de Vigne! It doesn't hurt that it's at a fair price point too. Great scent for a good price. I love it!!!

Tocca Bianca $68.00 (1.7 oz)

Transport yourself to a seaside cafe in Southern Itally. Bianca opens with a light citrus blend of lemon orpur and mandarin. Green tea and rose petals bloom, while a whisper of musk and sugar linger on the skin, capturing the imagination.

/// USER FEEDBACK

One spray, and you're set all day! Seriously! That's all you need! I found this perfume in a lotion first, and knew I just had to have it. The floral, mixed with citrus aroma is so feminine and sweet. A little goes a long way, though, Bianca feels like a light perfume but can be overdone very quickly.
