Lime

A little too much neroli and petitgrain, which overshadows the lime for me. I’m forever on the hunt for single note, linear type citrus scents, which are hard to come by. Like previous reviewer Swedishmilk15, I also remember Bath & Body Works Limelight. There was also one from around 2000-2001 called Fresh Ginger Lime, which I still have, and wish this smelled like (it wasn’t quite as sharp and bracing as this one). I like it, but I’m still searching for a lime scent that smells like mostly just lime.

It's not a lime, but it definitely smells like kumquat leaves when you rub them in your hands, or try to peel an unripe kumquat, adding a bitterness to the sourness of the citrus family. My grandfather had a row of kumquat trees in front of his house, and the smell from memory probably took it from an 8 to a 9.5 for me. And the price I got is ridiculously cheap, I bought 4 full bottles of Monotheme perfumes for only $30 from a local seller.

I've been searching for a replacement for B&BW Limelight since the 90s. I have this coming in the mail; I hope it delivers actual lime. If not, I might go the way of the reviewer who decanted and added more lime. What a good idea for a cheapie! Update: I layered it with B&BW Limoncello and together it's quite close to how I remember my beloved Limelight 💚

This is soooo pretty 😍. The opening is quite juicy and sharp but then it becomes the most beautiful sweet citrus ever!!!! I even feel like this fragrance has fresh linen vibes. Amazing perfume with supper affordable price. And the lasting power (when considering its composition) is great 4-5 hours.

I think this is a really great inexpensive choice for the citrus lover in your life. It’s a great big burst of lime at the beginning and does dry down to a more creamy clean lime but if you go heavy on the sprays (like 3 per wrist) you can get a lot of longevity out of the zesty lime note from the beginning. The projection is really gentle so over application works to build up the overall longevity as well. I’ve also tried the lemon from this line and they’re both pretty. It makes me curious to try more of their offerings. Overall 8/10
