The short answer
Citrus fragrances (lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, orange) smell bright, clean and energising, which makes them a natural fit for hot weather, mornings and workspaces. Forwills citrus picks include Citrus Blanc and DRIVEMODE car perfume, FOCUSMODE, the Lemon room freshener and Aurora Eau de Parfum.
Why do citrus scents suit summer?
Citrus notes read as fresh and light, so they feel comfortable in heat and humidity. They are usually top notes, the first thing you smell.

Frequently asked questions
Do citrus perfumes fade faster?
Citrus notes are usually top notes, which are the most volatile part of any fragrance, so they are often paired with musk or woods to give the scent a base.
Which citrus scent is best for a workspace?
FOCUSMODE (lemon, rosemary, vetiver, cypress, sandalwood, musk) is built for work drives and clear thinking; the Lemon room spray suits an office.
