Aromatic Lime

This is a nice chypre fragrance with a bitter lime note. It smells mainly of a very citric lime wood rather than the fruit itself, and the scent is unmistakeably of lime but also with hints of bitter orange and saffron. It smells more like the rind or lime zest rather than the juicy flesh itself. The lime note also surprisingly persists throughout the duration of the fragrance and is not simply a top note. It also is unisex unlike the other two lime colognes I listed which are firmly in masculine territory, being a citric chypre (since the drydown basically smells of greenery). Sillage is moderate leaning strong in this fragrance. It has great longevity also, with 4 hours of strong projection and many more hours of light projection after that. Unfortunately however, it leans slightly feminine to my nose, so my favourite lime colognes remain Taylor of Old Bond Street No. 74 Victorian Limes, and Armani's Acqua di Gio. 4/5

This is great. It was recommended to me in a niche perfumery store this weekend after me explaining what I like (Prada Infusion de Iris, Chanel 19 poudre, Chloe Nomade). I had not researched this scent at all but came on here today because I was curious what other fragrance lovers though about it and I am reading references to both the Chanel and the Nomade here! I think that's amazing and well done by the perfumery store advisor! I love how this is a more masculine leaning scent but not flighty or aquatic/ozonic, also not boozy or tobacco like. It develops beautifully on my skin and gets to a really sophisticated powdery-fresh lime soap scent. As a woman, this makes me feel kick ass strong and posh at the same time.

Starts like an 80's hairspray and evolves into Eau du Soir. Sour patchouli at its best/worst. I blind bought it as my most expensive blind buy so far, but this is not a safe buy at all. It really worths its price for the impressive Montale's longevity which would make it a perfect office scent, if only it was not so extreme. I am sure this could be a signature for the right person -not even a matter of skin chemistry, feels like this could overpower each and every chemistry. A dark green bomb, sexy and dry at the same time. Again, this is the most 80's smelling thing I've ever smelled, and 80's are not something you tend to forget even if you had experienced them only as an infant. I like Chopin, we're big in Japan.

A galbanum bomb, a blunt interpretation of Chanel No.19 with the volume turned up. Yes it has a masculine quality about it, much like No.19. But like No.19, it really suits a woman better.

Ditto what the person above me said.
