Our verdict on Extract of Limes: Statement

This is a real 'love it or hate it' frag, mostly because it's such an authentic lime. But even the biggest fans admit it's got the longevity of a fruit fly, making it a bit of a scandalous waste for the price tag.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport

Its intensely fresh and invigorating citrus profile makes it ideal for sport and casual wear, especially in hot weather. However, its notoriously poor longevity and sillage mean it won't last long enough for a date or formal event, and its 'cleaning fluid' vibe might be unwelcome in an office setting.

About

It's all about the limes, sunshine. This scent opens with a sharp, vibrant burst of zesty lime and lemon, underscored by a green, slightly bitter petitgrain. The heart introduces a subtle whisper of neroli, adding a touch of sophisticated floral cleanliness, but it never truly steers away from its citrus core. While fresh and invigorating, some find the overwhelmingly realistic lime note a bit too close to household cleaners for comfort.
