Which Should You Buy?
Our Verdict - du Sud Eau de Toilette
A divisive but timeless citrus aromatic, Eau du Sud is either a glorious, enduring summer chypre or a fleeting, masculine, slightly bitter disappointment. You'll either adore its natural, earthy charm or be left utterly cold. Test before you commit.

Our Verdict - Lima Eau de Parfum
A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin (1991) - lime, basil and patchouli translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Seasons
Best For:

Summer
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Best For:
Office
Casual
Sport
Its fresh, clean, and often discreet nature makes it excellent for the office or casual wear, especially in warm weather. While some find it office-appropriate, its often moderate sillage and 'classic' feel might not suit a modern date night, and it's too subtle for formal events, despite its underlying elegance. It can work for sport due to its refreshing quality, but isn't built for high performance.
