Limonata

Okay, still having mixed thoughts about this one, but probably helpful to someone who's undecided. Honestly, not mixed about how much I enjoy it but rather or not I need something like this in my collection - especially because I struggle to smell it on myself though longevity is VERY good. Price point is right where you find all Narcotica, of course, but delivers the quality for the premium. Very much a two season fragrance for men (not interested in a smells like this for women). Could it cost less? Definitely, but Narcotica is Narcotica like I've said. Smells like a brother to Porthole, with different fruits but with a much more succulent approach. Honestly not similar to GOF or 1907-like fragrances even the mango note doesn't match. This is rather salty and aquatic, but as i the ocean not as other calone infused fragrances. Sour even, but juicy fruits - kinda like an "Sparkling Ice Classic Lemonade" with mango. This fragrance will be somewhat nuanced for the opening 1-2h then becomes pretty linear until its final drydown, unlike Porthole for example. I can smell it for good 10-11 hours on me with certain distinguished profile to just a skin scent, but it does not necessarily project nor gives me a perfumed aura (TO MYSELF I mean) which is my main beef with it. Either way, very good performance, in terms of longevity. Last little note, wife picks up some sweat in it, which could be the salty fruits, not sure. I don't, so overall a great frag.

Love this! Fresh, bright, uplifting. I don't really pick out individual notes but its fruity sweet yet fresh. I drained a 10 oz. in no time and just ordered a second. I also ordered samples for my sister and niece to try. I think this perfume layers really well with my Musk Therapy hair mist. I would consider getting a full bottle of this - a great wear anywhere option for hot summer weather. I was reading through the other reviews and am honestly surprised at how negative some are. I thought this one was so pleasant and inoffensive! Just goes to show how subjective our sense of smell really is and how much body chemistry really can change scents from person to person. I don't get anything reminiscent of cleaning product, no watermellon, and nothing remotely funky/musty/body odor. I will say, I think some of these reviews must be to do with body chemistry- I have a lot of issues with various musks, white florals, and ouds turning sort of poopy on my my skin but this one really agrees with me (there are so many well loved frags from Guerlain, for example, that I consider completely unwearable/poopy pants). I also tend to do well with perfumes that have cumin notes which is another note some people will make b.o. complaints about but I never seem to agree with them, lol. Anyway, I guess this is a try before you buy kind of fragrance.

Wow! This fragrance is absolutely beautiful, the best tropical dna I have ever smelt. Imagine the juiciest citruses being squeezed into an icy cup full of sweet mango juice. The smell of the fresh sea breeze floats past your nose, not too salty and aquatic, creating the most beautiful fruity, airy opening. Seriously, if you thought Tales from Zanzibar, God of Fire, and all of the other tropical fragrances were good, wait until you try this! The selection of fruits in this compliment each other so well. Mango and berries bring a tropical sweetness, while the grapefruit and ginger cut through with a sparkling zing. It stays very tropical and quite sweet throughout, but it never gets too overwhelmingly sweet. I get about 8-9 hours longevity, with moderate projection. Some people may say that it is overpriced, but if you think about it, they will happily buy a more basic dna for more money per mL! I bought this as soon as I smelled the sample. 10/10

I just received a sample of this and when I tell you it made my eyes roll back in my head, I am NOT kidding. This is delicious! Totally my summer scent profile. Mango/guava ish, grapefruit, aquatic. If you like Memoirs of a Perfume Collector Tales from Zanzibar, you will probably like this. Dying to get a full botlle but it's so expensive and only comes in a 100ml size. I hate when perfume houses do that. Why must we all purchase a large bottle? Why not at least sell a 50ml so more of us can afford it? Also, smaller bottles take up less space and I don't have a lot of space. Next step for me is a large decant and then we'll see. I may just have to order the full bottle. It's not every day your eyes roll back in your head...

Does this smells like Porthole? Yep. Does owning both seem redundant? Of course. Do I own both? Yessir! Why do I own both? I love the scent. And instead of buying two bottles of Porthole I have one of each. And you know what surprise I was in for? I was shocked at the projection & longevity because this thing was beastly and lasted 10+ hours. For those unfamiliar, this is a clean fresh tropical scent that smells like the love child of Pacific Chill by Louis V and God of Fire. If you have this scent profile, I dont think anyone does this better than this scent here. If anyone has any other frag recommendations with longevity and punch. Drop me a msg. Love to know 9.5/10 (only gripe is that this isn't unique)

Opens up as a bright marine citrus. Zero screechy-ness and very smoothly blended. The grapefruit lingers but the it did dry down on my skin to a skin scent. I had to put my nose right up to my skin to smell it. Smells like sipping a sparkling limeade with a hint of ginger in it while sitting on a beach. I do not detect the pepper. I think it's really beautiful, but I wouldn't classify it as a particularly complex fragrance. If this was ~175 or less I might buy a full bottle, but for 300, I'll settle for a 9ml decant. I own several other Narcoticas.

I feel bad for the people that get a musty teen deodorant vibe from this...it’s almost offensive their noses can’t appreciate beauty. Limonata is a summer BANGER!! To me, it smells like a fizzy grapefruit accompanied by a lemonade with freshly squeezed mango juice. There’s an aquatic, slightly woody undertone that just about makes this more masculine leaning, but it’s still in the realm of unisex. This fragrance sends me into an olfactory orgasm every time I smell it. 10/10

It smells like lemon pledge and a mango hi chew candy. A bit sour sweet. Really fun. And the weirdest thing is I like it! The projection is fantastic and for those who love summery fruit scents this would be a must try or must buy. Definitely not something I would normally buy as I’m not for mango but this one got me. Maybe someday I’ll splurge for the $300 bottle.

I bought 100 ml limonata instead porthole coz of the preorder and waiting time and I regret now.i had sample of both of them and they were very similar but the longevity and silage of the porthole is next level.on my skin i get only 2 hour longevity from it and I’m so disappointed .8/10

This is fantastic! It really surprised me. To me it smells like if Symphony were on vacation. In the opening I get the same characteristic grapefruit and ginger as Symphony, but right behind it is a juicy and bright mango. It’s definitely a good refreshing scent for summer.

It’s like Porthole (same tropical notes) but instead of the salty note it has a lemon note for freshness with a bit of the earthy mint from Tales from Zanzibar. Porthole sometimes goes a bit BR540-ish, but Limonata doesn’t. Longevity feels about the same as Porthole.

This is summer 2025. This is happiness. This is my scent of the season. A sweet, fruity, citrus connoction which is truly delightful. I am thinking a fizzy cocktail with a little bit of spice added. Love love love and, may I add, beautiful presentation.

The salty, sweet candy fruit and aquatic qualities reminds me of Wave child. Not the same but in the same kind of aquatic candy sweet. If I didn’t already have that one I would buy this. Refreshing , sweet , reminds me of also a sweet juice .Very nice

my favourite blind buy ever.. almost cried smelling this. no words. 10/10. Edit: I get a lotttttt of coconut in the opening. i’m not sure how or why it’s not listed on the notes, but there is definitely a coconut in here resembling to JPG le beau

Imagine seating at the beach sipping on a mango lemonade and enjoying the ocean breeze. It is bright and sparkling. It also smells a little woody. This is unisex imo. Such a beautiful fragrance. It is long lasting and a perfect summer fragrance.

I LOVE this summer freshie. I am not a fan of any other narcotica perfumes, but I think people are greatly underestimating this one. It’s fun, it’s fruity, it’s aquatic. It does not smell like symphony, nor is it as sweet as wave child.

I got a 5 ml decant from this today, I honestly prefer mango ice by gulf orchid and vulcan feu by french avenue, better mango and stronger but this one is good too I will say good for layering but not worth of getting the full bottle.

This is an absolutely phenomenal fragrance. This smells EXACTLY like trident tropical twist gum and I can't get enough of it. Has a slight marine aspect mixed in which makes u feel like ur on the beach as well. 11/10

Tart, fruity refreshing, tropical seduction. compliment getter. Beautifully done with great performance. Purchased it right after got my sample. A must try! *** Layer Limonata with Happy Dust and thank me later.

I really like it; I blind bought this and do not regret it. A great scent for the spring and summer, I layered it with Anelo and oooohhh boyyyy, banger.
