Le Labo Limette 37 San Francisco is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Frank Voelkl. Le Labo's Limette 37 San Francisco carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Divisive. Some will love this modern take on a classic cologne structure; others will find it flat, overpriced, and a bit boring. It's a fresh, musky lime that tries to be both clean and moody, but doesn't quite win everyone over.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and clean profile, make it suitable for casual wear and office environments where it won't overwhelm. While versatile, its relaxed nature might be too understated for very formal events, and its subtle musk makes it an easy reach for everyday activities, including light sport.

About

Limette 37 opens with a bright, zesty hit of lime and bergamot, like fresh citrus squeezed over ice. This sharp, invigorating start mellows into a heart of delicate jasmine and subtle petitgrain, lending a soft floral and green touch. As it dries down, a clean, almost 'baby lotion' musk emerges, blended with earthy vetiver and a hint of warm tonka, giving it a sophisticated, slightly nostalgic depth without ever becoming heavy. There's a persistent freshness throughout, punctuated by faint, intriguing whispers of clove.
