    Ok, second go: Fleurs de Citronnier by Serge Lutens. It is a bit bland, a bit soapy, and a bit musky. But it‘s nice for layering and it doesn‘t disappear in a snap.
    As the citrus genre is a fleeting Eau de Cologne genre it might be of interest which perfume lasts more than than seven and a half minutes?

    I’m a big fan of Agua de Colonia Concentrada by Alvarez Gomez and the 2012 flanker Barberia. It’s so restorative on hot days. People get a kick out of the herbal note (is it basil? rosemary? Did someone make a salad?). I always bring it on trips–instant remedy for jet lag or for freshening up. The Barberia version always gets compliments. In some expensive hipster barber shops, they add a few drops to the hot, steamy cloths that prep the skin for shaving.

    Monsieur Balmain is my go-to lemon. Never got my hand on the original Cellier version but I like the modern one. A good, hazy lemon with some verbena and herbs.

    I am pretty sure these two are not obscure and well known, but I also love love, love Eau d’Hadrien by Annick Goutal and simple old Hermes Eau D’Orange Verte..
