By the editors · 2 min readLime opens with a tart, effervescent snap that immediately tilts the composition toward high-summer refreshment rather than classic cologne politeness. Basil and thyme land next, their green-aromatic oils squeezing mild peppery heat around the still-lingering citrus rind so the heart feels like crushed leaves on wet limestone. Iris slips in quietly, adding a cool, carrot-like powder that blunts the herbs’ rough edges and prepares the terrain for the darker base. Once moss, vetiver and patchouli take over, the scent dries down to a earthy forest-floor accord where the vetiver’s smoke and patchouli’s cocoa nuances outweigh any lingering sweetness. Projection stays within conversational distance for about five hours, then settles to a clean, leaf-stained skin that works best in spring and early-autumn casual settings.
