Neon Orange

Neon Orange, a 2013 women's fragrance from the British brand Superdry, is as bright as the name suggests. Everyone who describes it calls it sweet and citrusy, and about half also find it woody, musky and floral.

Blood orange and mandarin orange open it with a juicy, almost fizzy citrus, and pineapple adds a tropical, sugary edge. Black currant brings a tart, slightly green fruitiness that keeps the sweetness in check. Orange blossom gives the heart a soft, sunny floral note, while cedar and musk in the base provide a clean, dry, skin-like finish rather than anything heavy.

This is a cheerful daytime scent for spring and summer, for casual wear, beach days and warm evenings. It suits people who like fruity citrus fragrances that are uncomplicated and easy to reach for, without a heavy or dark drydown.
