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

Lime & Basil by The Perfume Edit is a crisp and invigorating blend dominated by the zestiness of lime and the aromatic depth of basil. These two primary notes are supported by subtle hints of bergamot and a gentle woody base, creating a fragrance that evokes a lively stroll through a citrus grove spilling into an herb garden.
