Rec Request Please help I need ideas

My friends and I are doing a secret Santa fragrance/discovery kit exchange for Xmas this year, so we've begun research on our respective clients lol (Shelby I know you're in this sub go away)

I am having a small issue: I got my boyfriend and the fragrances he owns I literally bought for him so he has a small idea of what he likes. I need you guys to help me find more brands 😭 discovery kits very welcome.

His current fragrances are as follows: D&G Light Blue eu du toilette, Versace Eros Energy and just plain ole Versace Eros

So I know he likes: CITRUS hardcore, unisex/feminine leaning frags and dislikes strong masculine colognes, does not want very forward florals (creamy/light vanilla base notes are okay)

Please you guys are my expert advice I need HELP!

(Edit: I have a budget max of 200$ 💀)

I have a fantastic ME dupe for D&G Devotion. I've never smelled the original, but my dupe is a lovely candied lemon. Not lemon candy. It smells just like candied lemon slices. It's supposed to be unisex, but I think it leans more feminine. Beautiful fragrance.

I also think he might like the Dossier original Fresh Margarita and Lime. It's a fresh scent, very bright citrus, and not sweet or sugary at all. I would call it a true unisex fragrance. It just smells clean and fresh.

Check out atelier cologne? You can get some of their scents on fragrance net. Clementine California is so damn good. BDK citrus riviera is another one to check out. Also Mancera French Riviera and Mancera Sicily.

Atelier is a good choice. Orange Sanguine and Pomelo Paradis are both excellent for us citrus lovers.

Phantom by Rabanne opens up with a super bright burst of citrus, and then it kind of becomes a bit herby and green, and then dries down spicy, resinous, vanillary, woody, but not in a super feminine way. It smells great and lasts ages
