Eden Perfumes No.485 Lime Basil & Mandarin is an Eau de Parfum. No.485 Lime Basil & Mandarin opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of Iris, Lilac, Thyme, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Patchouli. Eden Perfumes's No.485 Lime Basil & Mandarin carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Eden's unisex dupe of Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin gets the zesty lime-and-basil opening right, but where the Jo Malone original already has famously variable longevity as an eau de cologne, this version fades even sooner.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.485 is Eden Perfumes' vegan alternative to Jo Malone London's Lime Basil & Mandarin, a modern classic cologne credited with popularising the herbaceous-citrus genre since its 1999 launch. The opening bursts with lime, mandarin and bergamot, an immediately zesty, uplifting combination that closely tracks the original's signature citrus punch. Basil, lilac, iris and thyme make up the heart, bringing the green, herbal edge that reviewers consistently single out as the fragrance's defining character alongside the citrus top notes. Patchouli and vetiver ground the base with a light earthiness rather than heavy sweetness, keeping the overall composition true to the fresh, uncomplicated spirit of the Jo Malone original. Reviews of the genuine Lime Basil & Mandarin note it already performs somewhat inconsistently for a cologne concentration, with wear times reported anywhere from two to eight hours depending on skin chemistry, and a strong opening that quickly settles into a much softer, more intimate scent. Eden's version follows that same pattern but on a shorter overall timeline, making it best suited to quick refreshes throughout the day rather than a single long-lasting application - ideal for warm-weather casual wear or the gym.
