By the editors · 2 min readLime, orange, and bergamot open in a sharp, cocktail-glass burst — limeade with a squeeze of grapefruit, served cold. Of the Sweet Delicious flankers, this is the one that actually wears like a citrus rather than a dessert.
Ginger and basil pick up the middle with surprising bite, the basil keeping things herbaceous and the ginger adding a small heat. Neroli softens the whole construction without smoothing it out completely — a smart choice for a fragrance built around lime.
Violet leaf in the base does the work of holding the green-citrus character into the drydown rather than letting it collapse into musk. Short on its skin life, big on its mood. A heat-of-the-day scent for hands that just rinsed off a margarita.
