Limonsitano

Great new addition from Prin lomros. Opening with a sweet lemon and mint opening definitely going for as the name suggests limoncello. Sweet and tart then drys down to a green aromatic, definitely gives me cool water/ green Irish tweed vibes In the dry down. Lasts a good amount of time but projection is close after the 4 hour mark.

Far more herbal than citrus, I would not have guessed limoncello was supposed to co-star here. Mostly sharp, intensely fresh, mint-dominated greenery. Very enjoyable for the first few minutes until the mint falls apart, as it always does.

Not entirely unpleasant, but it kind of reminds me of a Turkish lemon cologne or a lemon dettol wipe. Artificial lemon smell + faint smell of alcohol, I do not feel anything else.

Starts out herbaceous and crisp but dries down disappointingly powdery

Testing a 2ml sample from Bloom Perfumery London. I'd agree with the previous review comparing it to a cleaning wipe, it does have that undertone which is not (at least on my skin) enhanced by the astringency of the green vegetal notes. Running alongside those is a sweetness I assume to be the grapefruit, apple and quince. These fruity notes do not enhance the sharp greens but draw them into further opposition, which I find discordant (like they are warring with each other). I like to use my samples completely in several different temperatures before making up my mind, but this is a one-try scrubber for me.

I have a sample from Bloom in Covent Garden (love that place) and for me, I'm hooked. The initial hit is just gorgeous, but as Ambergrush observed, it does die down quickly to a very pleasant green tonic. I'm really enjoying it. No single scent is yelling for attention but instead it sings calmly like a well balanced Mediterranean choir, accompanying me about my day and settling me to sleep without intrusion. Personally, I love it, and shall be adding it to my list of must haves. I think it is late Spring, through Summer to mid Autumn, while the sun is still knocking around and you're smiling quietly to yourself reminiscing about the mischief you got up to on holiday. It doesn't squeal with excitement, nor does it seduce your lover, but it does feel so serene and pleasing and content, with a little nod towards romance, that it absolutely has a place in my heart.

A lovely citrus green hit initially, with bite and slap-in-your-face refreshment...but then dies down quite quickly to a pleasant and not generic fresh green tonic - I feel like the green notes combine quite nicely to smooth over the citrus. I don't really get the mint. There is something there which is different but I feel like it didn't quite hit some. I used an entire 2ml sample within 3 hours and never felt like I could really smell it on me.

First sniff: Ooh! A very delicious, lemony fragrance with a fair bit of confidence behind it. I like it! Another sniff five minutes later: Oh. The initial notes disappeared, and it's turned into a bog standard slightly citrusy, mostly green men's cologne. Not my thing.
