Shadow1990 -- keep on beclowning yourself one post at a time by claiming that people you don't agree with must be paid shills. I said I love Limewood (which I do; wearing it now). I also said it was aggressive, not a safe blind buy, and probably a love it/hate it scent. Weird sales approach for "a shill." I guess you missed that part in your unfocused rage.

To be the first person to review this is pretty cool. This one is the most mass appealing in the line and definitely my favorite. Very unique dark soapy green kind of vibe. Masculine leaning. I could see this being signature scent worthy. Masterpiece. Will most likely get a full bottle of this one.

Insanely good. I consistently get more compliments on this than anything else I wear (bigger name, heavy hitters). That said, I still think it is an acquired taste and not a safe blind-buy. It comes out of the gate very strong, and many might find it off-putting. A love it-hate it scent?

My first sampling of Blackcliff Parfums, the Barbados-based brand, is Limewood, a 2021 release and one of several fragrances that stuck out to me (in a good way) when experiencing the brand at the Perfumology event recently that featured the owner. Limewood’s perfumer is Justin Frederico, the creator of Perfumology’s own catalogue to date as well as his own line. Its name seems appropriate right off the bat, as it combines both a strong citrus and a strong sense of woody notes, with the eponymous lime blending with a medley of citruses, spices, and woods. It has a nice amount of vetiver, giving it an earthy and dark quote to pair with the woody duo of oak and sandalwood, with spicy contributes of black pepper and clary sage and the sort of spice/wood crossover of birch. So on the one hand it’s fresh and robust and bright, and on the other, it’s quite dark. With the house name Blackcliff Limewood feels like it nails the name of the fragrance, a feat that’s always a bit tricky to achieve. Limewood, like most of the line, is priced at $245 for 100ml in extrait de parfum concentration, sold through the house site as well as Perfumology. It performs very well as a fragrance with notable fresh elements, making it a nice year-round option that I could definitely see myself braving in a summer day. The bottles are something to marvel at, too, an irregular yet smooth and substantial igneous rock-looking shape. 7 out of 10

I see a lot of hate for this fragrance, and I'm going to be honest, this fragrance doesn't smell as bad as people are making it out to be. Will it be for everyone? No. However, it's a fragrance that is definitely in that "niche" category. It doesn't smell bad, but it's a "meh" kind of fragrance. I've grown to love it and understand its fragrance for a specific time and place. Personally, I prefer to wear this in the dead of winter—I'm talking 30° brisk cold—because this is an extrait concentration, so it performs very well in cold weather. Again, I'm not sure why people are saying it smells horrible because I don't seem to think so. If I had to describe the smell, I'd say it smells smooth, very woody, and yes, it does have a bit of a smoky quality to it, but in a good way. It's not overbearing to my nose. Now, I will say it has that lemongrass that I do dislike. I generally just don't like the smell of lemongrass, and it pokes out a lot in this fragrance, but it also adds an effervescence to the fragrance for sure. So if you like a niche quality fragrance that is woody, smooth, smoky with some effervescent citrus then ide say its worth the trigger pull lol.

Pulled this blind out of the ScentXplore bag, not looking at the label or bottle. The opening was plant-like, like walking into an aromatic plant store. Has a little bit of spiciness that seems to gain power as it dries down. Those spices seem to be floating in a cool and mineral-infused cave, giving the overall effect of a sharp crisp spice. Looking at the notes there are no surprises. Each adding to the overall effect with none trying to be the star, though the lime in hindsight is now more obvious. All the notes morph to make a strong front. This smells like a more intense and better quality mainstream spicy fresh scent. While I appreciate how the spice cuts through, for me it is too much and a bit of a slap in the face. I think if I was a professional athlete, the cool heat of this take on crisp and spicy would be a top contender, but I'm far from that persona.

Ignore the 2 reviews below this one. This stuff smells horrible. If you’re in the frag groups and you hate this (you will), you won’t be able to give this stuff away. I’ve seen people trying to sell this $240 stank for $60 and no one touches it. It’s an herbal smoky mess. It smells like burnt bug spray. jpontoli—you’re clearly a fake account made to review this crap, and 100% lying about compliments. Guarantee 1 of the 2 below will respond because they’re paid reviews.

The reviews below mine are utter trash—let me save you the disappointment and $240. This is not a ‘take on Aventus’. This does not smell anything like Aventus. This does not smell like something a professional athlete would wear. This is not signature scent worthy, nor is it mass appealing. This smells like someone took a bunch of herbs, set them on fire, then sprinkled store bought plastic bottle lime juice on it to put the embers out. It stinks.

Smell bad one time mijo wear this I spray him outside with hose like dog

Anybody else getting an Nishane Ani vibe, with that greenish vanilla note? This is a nice fragrance that opens with a lime bite & then becomes green and smoky, like it has guaiac wood. Then the vanilla comes in late giving me a darker Nishane Ani vibe. Not a fan of the Ani, though I recognize it’s appeal to others. I much prefer this take on a similar profile (not a clone at all, just related to Ani in its base accord).

Limewood is the greenest imitation of the Aventus DNA I've come across, although it's closer in style to Cedrat Boise and Hacivat . Starts off very sharp and slightly nutty due to the lime, lemongrass, pepper and artemisia. Over time, the birch and benzoin become the dominant notes. I'm probably not going to get a larger sample of this but it's a nice, sorta different spin on a familiar DNA. 7.5/10

In a word: unwearable. In a 2nd word: offensive. My clue should have been the other reviews calling this ‘the most wearable’ of the line. I can’t imagine how truly vile the others must be if this is their champion. Who makes burnt synthetic lemongrass into a fragrance? I would rather bash my nose with a brick than let this abomination torture my nostrils again.

Impressed that the lemongrass is an afterthought and doesn’t get in the way of the scent. Very aromatic with the woods, I’m liking. P.s the liquid in the sample vial is sooo goopy 😍

Beautiful fragrance smell like caribean almond trees, is basically that. Almond from the Caribbean. However the price is outrageous.

Damn shadow1990 this scent lives rent free in your head
