Lemon Drop Candy Fragrance?

[HMan]

I've been on a lemon quest of late.
I've picked up both the Caron pour Homme flankers,
Acqua Viva is on my to buy list as a superb lemon cologne type scent,
Le Galion Whip hits the lemon meringue/sorbet thing beautifully.

But I've yet to find anything that really hits the scent of lemon drop candies. I have an aftershave that hits it perfectly Myrsol Aqua de Limone. Of course being an aftershave, it lasts about 5 minutes.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a lemon candy scent? Thanks!

How about Guerlain Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat?

 

[Borzoi]

Monsieur Balmain
Eau de Guerlain

Even Rochas Moustache (EDT) is an, albeit pretty dirty, lemon candy

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche

Monsieur Balmain came to mind too. Though not necessarily a lemon drop Id like to eat, but certainly one I like to wear.

Perhaps Hanae Mori HM EDP.

If only it were still available, it sounds perfect.

Floraiku Flowers Turn Purple has a lemon candy drop note, but you also have to like lavender.
I suggest sampling first as it is expensive.

I second AHEB and Monsieur Balmain and would add C O Bigelow Lemon No. 1999.

Jo Loves, almost anything. She is like the queen of citrus

How about Guerlain Eau de Fleurs de Cedrat?

That would've been my suggestion. Performance is awful, and there's a touch of white florals and lavender in there as well, plenty of verbena. But it's a sweet lemon scent and I've read a few people think it smells like hard boiled sweets so is a good suggestion.

Jimmy choo man ice is a good cheapie. Good longevity although projection isn't the greatest

Mancera lemon line

Many great recommendations already mentioned, also adding to a certain extent:

- Versace Blue Jeans ("cream soda" citrus vanilla),

- Baldessarini EDC (the apple-pineapple woody fruity main theme of Boss Bottled taking an almost entirely different citrus turn),

- even l'Homme Ideal Cologne (however with more of a candied grapefruit rather than lemon drop note, mixed with the characteristic Guerlain sweetness)

- certain aspects of Moschino Uomo, Bvlgari for Men Extreme and/or Dior Higher plus the flankers of the latter (if seeking a certain late 80s to early 2000s take on candied, moderately sweet, slightly fresh woody-spicy citrus)

You should try Diptyque Oyedo. Though it's mandarin orange, and not lemon, it really captures that "hard candy" aspect. It's a tad sweet on its own, but is great layered with woody scents.

 

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche comes to mind.

 

[Pippin06]

Perhaps Hanae Mori HM EDP.

Yes, Hanae Mori.

 

[Varanis Ridari]

I second AHEB and Monsieur Balmain and would add C O Bigelow Lemon No. 1999.

The bigelow was gonna be my recommendation.

Unknown Pleasures by Kerosene.

Apart from the already mentioned CAHEB, two discontinued gems come to my mind. Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne and Guerlain Homme L'Eau Boisee. Although not strictly lemon in the note list of the mentioned, they most certainly emulate that vibe.

Versace pour Homme, YSL Y Eau Fraiche, Azzaro Chrome, Dior Homme Sport 2017., Armaf Club de Nuit Sillage are fragrances you should at least try.

Lemon Line is what your looking for

Tova for Men, so lemon candy it was actually too much for me.

Hadn’t thought about this one, but seeming the nose Akiko Kamei, I’m interested. Caron 3’emme Homme is one of my all time favorites, and it has a superb citrus opening.

I get that lemon booked sweet vibe from ESP 2017 and moreso from Xeryus Mythiques.

Alverez Gomez? Interesting suggestion.

I find it is very hard lemon candy in the opening and then turns to a sharp lavender in the heart

I’m going to ask our local shaving supplier if he can get it. I know he carries the line, and I’ve been tempted to try it in the past.
Myrsol is a Spanish aftershave company, so seems like a good fit, and it’s reasonably priced.

Good shout - opening smells like lemon sherbert

 

[Mr G]

+1 for Moschino Uomo.

Dior Homme Cologne is basically pure iced lemonade over a bed of white musk. Not exactly “lemon candy” but not far off.

I saw a few recent reviews calling Moustache Original 1949 EDT (the 2018 reissue) a summer citrus with a lemon candy top, though I’m pretty sure it gets at least a little dirtier after that opening. Haven’t tried it myself but I’ve been eyeing a blind buy as prices are low.

A good friend just gave the same Dior reccomendation, I’ll seek it out next.

Moustache could be ok as well, dirty is ok with me, what I’m not looking for is white floral.

Awesome. Dior Homme Cologne is great - wears pretty ethereal and light, great for summer. There are a handful of similar scents (lemon-focused summer citrus) I've tried that are very similar and might also be worth sampling: Chanel Allure Homme Sport Cologne, Zara Vibrant Leather Summer & Vibrant Leather Cologne (used to be insanely cheap, but these seem to go in and out of availability), Jimmy Choo Man Ice (haven't tried it), and Mercedes Benz Cologne. I have a decant of the Chanel and really like it, though it has something slightly herbal and aromatic going on; also have a full bottle of Vibrant Leather Summer, and it's like a slightly louder, heavier Dior Homme Cologne (but still very light, just performs with a bit more presence than the airy DHC). Lots of options in this category. Good luck!

Finally got A chance to look into this one, and it sounds fantastic. How is the iris in the drydown? Does it go super powdery, or feminine?

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche

Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche comes to mind.

This is exactly what came to my mind when I read the thread title, before I even opened up the thread itself.

This is more of a rosemary fragrance in my opinion. The lemon part is fleeting.
