Bath & Body Works White Citrus is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2009. White Citrus opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Water Lily, Mandarin, Lily of the Valley, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Musk. Bath & Body Works's White Citrus carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

White Citrus is a surprisingly versatile and often-underrated clean citrus. While some find it a bit too much like household cleaner, most agree it's a zesty, uplifting burst of sunshine that's perfect for warm weather and office-safe.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh, clean citrus profile, make it highly suitable for casual wear and office environments, as many reviewers noted its inoffensive nature. While not a typical date or formal scent, its refreshing character could work for daytime sporty activities.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty, invigorating pop of lemon and grapefruit, a bright and pure citrus blast that's refreshingly tart without being overly sweet. As it settles, delicate hints of water lily and freesia emerge, softening the initial sharpness before a gentle, clean musk and subtle woody notes provide a smooth, grounded finish.
