Looking For a FRESH and Fruity/Juicy scent (+New Fragrance Review Channel)

Hey guys, I'm new here, though I've been around the forums for a while.

I recently started a new Fragrance review Chanel on Youtube (in both english AND french), so if you care to comment or at least check it out it would make me a happy camper

But more importantly I'm looking for a new fragrance for summer and spring. I'm looking specifically for fragrances that are both very fresh and very fruity.

I've looked around a bit, but it's hard to find something that has those 2 characteristics (from what I read maybe un jardin apres la mousson from hermes has those characteristics but it's hard to tell from simply reading things up).

So do any of you guys have suggestions on the subject?

When I first started with fragrances I was, and still am, into fruity frags. One of the best ones I found for relatively cheap is Escada's Sunset Heat. It is very very fruity and smells amazing. It is still one of my favorites. Look up some of the reviews on that one, as its really good. It doesn't last that long on me, but its relatively easy to re-apply a little. I also love Un Jardin Apres La Mousson. I would say it is more fresh than fruity, and pretty green. It smells exactly like a garden after a rainstorm, but not a fruit garden. More like a garden with vegetables. Maybe try Un Jardin Sur Le Nil or Mediterrain if you are looking for fruity. Hope that helps!

Have you smelled I Am King by Sean Jean? Not my favorite type of fragrance, but if you're looking for fruity and fresh, this one brings it.

I agree that Escada Sunset Heat may be something to consider. Another one to try is the original Paris Hilton. This one is very fruity, almost like a bubblegum. Finally, give Kenneth Cole Reaction a try. A nice blend of apple and watermelon.

Have you tried Baldessarini Del Mar Marbella? It's got some wood in the base so that it's not super fruity/feminine$.

Diesel - Fuel for Life smells like Juicy Fruit chewing gum (in a good way) & is one of my top 5 frags. Very good sillage / longevity too!

The first thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title was Montale Soleil de Capri.

Escada Sunset Heat is my favourite in this genre, probably followed up by Lacoste's Style in Play.

the only problem is, its not wise to chase a fragrance for its topnotes; the "juiciness" fades when most fragrances settles
