Lime opens with a sharp, slightly bitter sparkle and almost immediately the heart blooms — orris, jasmine, ylang and freesia stacked into a cool, slightly waxy white-floral chord.

By the editors · 2 min readLime opens with a sharp, slightly bitter sparkle and almost immediately the heart blooms — orris, jasmine, ylang and freesia stacked into a cool, slightly waxy white-floral chord. The composition reads tropical only by association; the lime keeps it from going humid.
Underneath, sandalwood and Virginia cedar form a dry, paper-textured woody floor, with vetiver and patchouli adding root and earth. Oakmoss draws a thin chypre line. A clean musk smooths the finish so the white florals never tip into shampoo territory.
The overall effect is poised rather than heady — a structured floral that wears small in cool weather and breathes well in warmth. It holds for a full workday on most skins.
