citrus perfume
I love the smell of pure lemons and limes - nothing else. Any ideas of a perfume/eau de toilette that might suit me, please? I don't want the perfume to have background smells of incense, floral notes or anything else. It is just the light citrus smell I am after.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante has already been mentioned and it's one of the very best for wearing in the summer as it's a beauty treatment combined with a gentle fragrance. No alcohol so it's safe to wear in the sun without creating nasty brown patches. I found this out the hard way!

Jo Malone was my first thought, expensive though. These are their citrus fragrances:

Thank you all for your very helpful answers. I have looked at some of the perfumes suggested and a lot have deeper background woody or fruity layers to them. Perfume is such a subjective thing that it is hard to recommend and sometimes describe, but I do appreciate your thoughts. I might try samples of these, when I next go shopping and see how they smell after a while. I suppose that they might smell different on different people?
A pure lemon fragrance is impossible to find, bazzard, unless you go for essential oils ( not recommended), but I've found two that might suit - both are lemon colognes.
One is 'Agraria Lemon and Verbena Cologne' and the other is 'Duru Turkish Lemon Cologne'. The latter is here on Ebay for �4.49.
