Citrus Scents
Bright, fresh fragrances with natural energy
Citrus fragrances are loved for their freshness, clarity and effortless lift. Zesty lime, bergamot and mandarin mingle with aromatic herbs, delicate florals and softer woods to create scents that make a home feel lighter, brighter and beautifully refreshed.
At Elm & Grey, our citrus fragrances range from crisp and energising to softer, spa-like and aromatic - so you can choose the kind of freshness that feels right for your home.

THE CITRUS FRAGRANCE FAMILY
How citrus fragrances smell
Bright • Fresh • Zesty • Aromatic • Clean
Citrus fragrances are built around vibrant notes such as lime, bergamot, mandarin and orange blossom.
Rather than smelling simply “lemony”, the best citrus scents are layered with herbs, florals, woods or softer notes that give them depth and help them feel sophisticated rather than sharp.
How citrus fragrances feel
Fresh, uplifting and beautifully clear.
Citrus scents bring an immediate feeling of freshness to a room. They are ideal when you want your home to feel lighter, cleaner and more energised without becoming overly sharp or clinical.
They work especially well through the daytime, during busy mornings and in spaces where you want fragrance to feel effortless and refreshing.
Best in your home
Kitchens • Hallways • Bathrooms • Home offices • Living spaces
Citrus fragrances work beautifully in busy everyday spaces where you want freshness, energy and clarity.
They are especially good in kitchens and hallways, where brighter citrus and herbaceous notes can refresh the atmosphere rather than competing with it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Citrus fragrances are typically bright, fresh and uplifting, with notes such as lime, bergamot, mandarin and orange blossom. They can range from crisp and aromatic to softer and more floral depending on the notes layered alongside them.
Not necessarily. While citrus notes bring freshness and brightness, our fragrances are blended with herbs, florals, woods and softer notes to give them depth and balance rather than a harsh or overly sharp finish.
Citrus fragrances work particularly well in kitchens, hallways, bathrooms, home offices and living spaces — anywhere you want your home to feel fresh, light and energised.
No. Citrus scents are naturally beautiful during spring and summer, but their clean, uplifting character works throughout the year, particularly in kitchens, bathrooms and busy everyday spaces.
Yes. Use a reed diffuser for continuous background fragrance, a candle for slower moments, a room spray for an immediate lift, and matching hand care to extend the scent into everyday routines.
Choose Lime, Basil & Mandarin for the freshest, most aromatic option; Bergamot, Jasmine & Coconut for something softer and more serene; Orange Blossom & Juniper for a bright, gently floral and uplifting fragrance.
Keep candles away from draughts and trim the wick before each burn. For the first burn, allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface to help avoid tunnelling.
For reed diffusers, place them away from direct sunlight, radiators, strong draughts and open windows. Turn the reeds less often for a softer, slower fragrance release, or more often if you want a stronger scent.
