Shay & Blue London Sicilian Limes is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Julie Massé. Sicilian Limes opens with Lime, settles into a heart of Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Oakmoss. Shay & Blue London's Sicilian Limes carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This one's a divisive marvel. While it promises a zesty lime blast, it takes a sharp, unexpected turn into 'curry house' territory for many. Love it or hate it, Sicilian Limes is certainly not your average fresh citrus.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Summer
Also Works:
Spring

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its initial freshness makes it suitable for casual and sport, but the developing spicy-woody character lends itself to evening casual or even a relaxed date. The potential 'curry' note makes it a risky choice for formal settings or a conservative office environment, as it might be too polarising for some.

About

Opens with an invigorating, sharp burst of authentic lime, quickly introducing a green, earthy complexity from rosemary. This herbal heart then settles onto a base of dry cedar and moss, creating a woody, aromatic foundation. However, on some skin, a surprising spicy, almost curry-like accord emerges, transforming the scent into something far warmer and more piquant than a simple citrus. It's a journey from zesty freshness to an unexpectedly dirty, savoury dry-down.
