Ranked by how many people have rated each perfume — the most-worn and most-discussed first. Every perfume links to its own page with the full ranked list of alternatives and where to buy.

How this list was ranked

Judged on the top three accords. A perfume qualifies when citrus is one of the three the catalogue says it mostly smells of — not merely somewhere in its note list, which would put half the catalogue on this page.
Ranked by ratings, not by our opinion. At least 1,000 ratings each; 454 perfumes qualified and the 30 most-rated are shown. Popularity is the one ranking nobody has to take our word for.
Unisex fragrances are included, but the community decides which ones. This list counts everything the catalogue marks feminine, plus anything marked unisex — a unisex citrus is a real answer to the question, and excluding one would drop some of the best-rated bottles on a labelling technicality. A unisex bottle is left off only when the people who wear it vote it decisively masculine: the label says who a house will sell to, and the vote says who actually wears it.
Discontinued perfumes are excluded. A list you buy from should not lead with a bottle no retailer stocks.
The cheaper match is AltScent’s rank-1 alternative, shown only when it scores 85 or better. Similarity is an AI-generated estimate informed by community opinion; it describes perceived scent character and is not a statement of fact.
Prices are estimates of a full bottle in USD and vary by retailer, size and time.
