Essence Zesty Citrus is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2025. Zesty Citrus opens with Lemon, Orange, Mandarin, and Melon, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Essence's Zesty Citrus carries a Favourite verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

Zesty Citrus is a pretty, if somewhat predictable, fruity floral. It's a safe bet for everyday wear, but don't expect it to turn many heads - it's more 'pleasant' than 'memorable'.

Given its fresh and relatively subtle nature, this is well-suited for casual wear and the office. It's a bit too light for formal events, and while pleasant, it lacks the depth for a standout date night scent.

About

Opens with a juicy explosion of vibrant pineapple, sweet mandarin, and zesty lemon, instantly awakening the senses. This energetic fruit cocktail then softens into a delicate floral heart where powdery violet takes centre stage, nestled amongst gentle rose and fresh freesia. A comforting base of warm amber and creamy vanilla provides a subtle, sweet anchor, underscored by a clean musk that extends the wear without ever becoming heavy.
