| Yellow Mat by Masaki Matsushima. They have it at Sephora. Very nice - light and grapefruity for day. |

| For summer I use L'Occitane Verbena. I have a big size EDT in my bath room to spray on after bath every morning. |

| I'm not sure what it smells like as I've never tried it, but Demeter does a Grapefruit Tea that sounds yummy. And I love Ecco Bella's Lemon Verbena, personally. The Body Shop and Kiehls both have some grapefruit scented products that are delicious too, though I don't love all their ingredients (Kiehls is better than BS for that). Good luck! |

| Jo Malone has a WONDERFUL, delightful, over the top Grapefruit eau de cologne as well as body wash, candle, body lotion, etc. If I could stop thinking about my skin, I could get it. It is light and just right for what you're thinking of. |

| Oyédo by Diptyque is gorgeous - citrus with a hint of herbs. |

| Wow! Thanks for all of your replies. I will have to try and sample them all if I can. The Demetri scents on Sephora all sound so appealing, I wonder how true to life they are! |

| If you meant Demeter, it's hard to say - they used to be INCREDIBLY dead-on, but over the years I think they've gone more on the "perfumey" than the "reality" end of the spectrum. Depends on the scent though - the older "classic" ones are still freakishly accurate. Their "dirt" seriously smells just like dirt, and their "ginger ale" actually SMELLED like carbonation, somehow. |

| I forgot about Hermes Eau D'Orange Vert - delicious, but I was always disappointed by how short-lived the fragrance was. They may have a stronger version though, I always just tried the eau de toilette version. |

Forgot to add - both the annick goutal & guerlain last the whole day. Is very fresh smelling without it being overpowering.
The annick Goutal's called 'les nuits d'hadrien' & Guerlain's called 'aqua allegoria orange Magnifica'. There's a grapefruit one (in Guerlain) but I don't like that. |

| I was at Wal-Mart just browsing the aisles and I smelled someone spray this citrus-lemony-orange scent. I asked what this lady sprayed and she sprayed a "tester" of Calgon Tropical Dream Body Refreshment Spray. Yummy. I bought the small one for $1.88 to test. Sprayed it on, doesn't last too long but I think I will also get the lotion to layer. JUst something light while I hang around the pool or take on vacation with me. My hubby noticed the orange-fruity smell and liked it. I liked it too, but I can smell the alcohol. |

Hi, Rileygirl;
Sea OF Love is a chain of stores in Canada,
We have one here in Halifax- and there's one in Ontario. They are just a tiny store here, but they cary candles, soaps, perfumes, stuff like placemats and picnic baskets- and even furniture! Their furniture is very expensive.
You can probably find them online. Other than the lemon vanilla- they also carry blueberry perfume, and orange canteloupe, YUM! |
