The Essence Vault Lime, Basil and Mandarin - 210 is an Eau de Parfum. Lime, Basil and Mandarin - 210 opens with Mandarin and Lime, settles into a heart of Thyme and Basil, and dries down to a base of Vetiver and Patchouli. The Essence Vault's Lime, Basil and Mandarin - 210 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

No. 210 leans hard on Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin's peppery-basil-over-citrus signature, but the tart lime and mandarin fade faster here than reviewers report for the original's surprisingly resilient 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.

About

No. 210 is inspired by Jo Malone London's Lime Basil & Mandarin, the cologne that helped define the modern unisex citrus category with its sharp, peppery basil twist on tart Caribbean lime and juicy mandarin. This dupe opens with that same vibrant, slightly bitter citrus burst and a green, herbal basil heart, staying true to the original's structure. The gap shows in staying power - reviews of Lime Basil & Mandarin note surprisingly good longevity for a citrus, often six to eight hours as the fragrance settles into a mossy, patchouli-vetiver skin scent, while No. 210 loses its interesting green complexity noticeably sooner and drops into a flatter, more generic woody-citrus base. A solid, wearable everyday citrus for anyone who wants that classic English cologne character without needing all-day performance.
