Limon de Cordoza

Big Thumbs up to you Esteban747: I too I'm so tired of that over-used and rather senseless cliche: "smells like pledge".,,., duh........ And........?!?! Gorgeous frag, weak on longevity and projection...., but interestingly the sillage is quite good on me.....?!?! Perhaps the heat my body generates causes it to radiate from my body very nicely..... To my knowledge, Jean-Claude Ellena had a hand in starting this company..... Based on his DNA, his blending and the quality natural ingredients he uses, it's unrealistic to expect monster projection and longevity on his frags, especially the citrus-based ones.... Oh yeah, one more thing: YES, it is a very very close cousin of Cologne Bigarade, the nose behind which is..........?????? You guessed it!

The Different Company Limon de Cordoza is centered around the eponymous note of lemon and other citrus, but touched with bits of mint, vetiver, gaiac, freesia, and neroli. It's predictably fresh, overall quite light, and nuanced, sharpened by the mint and vetiver, specifically, which prevent the fragrance from drifting into "citrus-only" or "juicy, sweet citrus" territory. It feels fresh but classy, exuberant but reserved, making for a versatile offering as far as gender and age. Pricing of $125 for 100ml walks the line between being excessive for the lack of performance and just right for a perfume of fine quality and energy, and a rather useful warm weather option. 7 out of 10

Beautiful frag! Was what i looking for a long time. Lemon lemon lemon and more lemon! Simple as that. In the end/drydown, a little bit of patchouli and vetiver. 10/10.

It's lemon, no doubt about it. I like citrus scents, especially lemon. So, I'm tired of this comments about "smelling like furniture cleaning product", "bathroom cleaner", "floor cleaner", etc. Yes, household cleaning products usually smell like lemon, so what? The opening is quite a blast of lemon, as if you open your door and somebody squeeze a lemon right in your face. But it quickly (very so) calms down, becoming smooth, almost creamy. Then gets soapy. I guess this is a nice summer or spring fragrance. It's fresh, clean and light. I only wish the opening blast of lemon would last longer, because it truly develops fast and sooner than you may expect the drydown is here.

Limon de Cordoza is very nice. It opens with citrus and mint. There's a beautiful combination of bitter orange and mandarin that feels lemony with the mint and freesia. It's very light and uplifting. The sillage is intimate after about 20 minutes. It's suitable for day wear in the spring and summer. The perfume is a lovely blend and very elegant. The vetiver and wood comes into the background after 20 minutes or so. 35 minutes in it's a combination of citrus, grass and mint. It reminds me of Carthusia's Mediteranneo except that Limon de Cordoza is done after about three hours whereas the Carthusia lasts longer. Both are fully genderless and unisex.
