Etienne Aigner X Limited is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. X Limited opens with Lemon and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Patchouli. Etienne Aigner's X Limited carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. A dead ringer for CK One and a few other classics, some sniffers swear it's a long-lasting compliment magnet, while others report it vanishing faster than a free round. It's affordable, but your mileage (and longevity) will vary wildly.

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.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh and clean citrus-woody profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and its generally subtle projection suits an office setting. It's not quite bold enough for formal events or romantic dates, but its invigorating facets lend themselves well to sport.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a zesty wallop of lemon and orange, bursting forth with clean, bright citrus energy. This sparkling introduction mellows into a heart of smooth sandalwood, subtly intermingled with delicate jasmine and rose. The base settles into a gentle, earthy patchouli embrace, maintaining a fresh and woody character throughout its fleeting, or not-so-fleeting, lifespan.
