Lime Basil & Mandarin, created by Jo Malone in 1999 for Jo Malone London, is a fresh citrus fragrance. Citrus leads, woods and florals follow, and herbal aromatics add a touch.
The opening is sharp and sparkling: lime gives a zesty, tangy freshness, mandarin orange a sweeter, sunny note and bergamot a clean citrus lift. The heart is green and herbal, with basil bringing a peppery, slightly aniseed note, thyme a dry herbal edge, and iris and lilac a soft floral powder. The base is vetiver and patchouli, which give an earthy, dry and slightly smoky finish.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, with some finding it weak, and a moderate to close sillage. It is voted for summer and spring and is almost entirely a daytime scent. It suits hot days, the office, weekend lunches and anyone who wants a crisp, herbal citrus that feels clean and easy. It is worn by anyone.
