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 citrus-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.

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.
