I have a thing for citrus-scented beauty products. I always have, and I suspect I always will. Whether it's lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, bergamot, or yuzu, my personal product collection is full of these bright and juicy fruit-forward scents.

Here's the thing, though. Citrus gets a bad rap. My theory is that this can be traced back to the early/mid-2000s when citrus scents were often obnoxious, unrefined, and too on-the-nose. If you had an orange fragrance, it smelled like orange-flavored soda—unnatural and sugary sweet. And if you had a lemon fragrance, it smelled like lemonade—sharp and saccharine. You get the gist.

These days, citrus can be shockingly sophisticated, and brands are proving it by launching everything from chic perfumes to brightening bodywashes. Ahead, see the 19 best citrus beauty products, according to me, a citrus-obsessed editor.
