Details & care

What it is: A signature fragrance by Jo Malone London.

Fragrance story: Peppery basil and aromatic white thyme bring an unexpected twist to the scent of limes on a Caribbean breeze. A modern classic. Mandarin opens the scent. Bright and tart, it blends with the zestiness of lime to bring a vibrant freshness to the top notes. Basil forms the heart. The herbaceous warmth of basil with a peppery edge adds an unexpected twist to the vibrant citrus notes. Amber wood forms the base. It is a woody note with an amber-like scent that brings addictive warmth to the fragrance.

Style: Citrus.

Notes:
- Top: mandarin.
- Middle: basil.
- Base: amber wood.

Mood: Timeless.

How to use: Spritz generously onto your wrists, neck and pulse points. Your body heat will help diffuse the fragrance as the day goes on. Wear alone or layer with another cologne or your favorite bath and body products.

Distinct and inventive fragrance.

If you wish to be remembered, this is the fragrance to wear. I first tried it years ago, and I seem always to come back to this as the main scent that I wear. I love the fact that it leaves an impression, but does not overwhelm, my only criticism is that it also does not last very long. It has been described by people who stood downwind of me and have used adjectives such as alluring, inventive, and distinct - Jo Malone's Basil Lime and Manderine has come with me into some of the most wonderful moments of my life!

Smells really good but....

Smells so good but scent does not last for even an hour. Had I not purchased it from Nordstrom, I would have thought I got a knock off. I felt I wasted 140+tax dollars. So sad...

Wondeful for a Man or Woman

I bought this for my husband. I originally visited the Jo Malone counter at Nordstrom to purchase a new scent for myself. I was convinced I wanted Lime Basil and Mandarin for myself, but the associate warned me that it was a bit masculine. It smelled that way on me. While I bought Wisteria and Violet for myself, the associate gave me a sample of the Lime Basil to try on my husband. It smells great on him and is his go to scent. He loves how it is not heavy but lasts throughout the date. As I side note, I recently learned that a good girlfriend of mine wears Lime Basil and Mandarin, and her perfume always smells great. It really does depend on your body, but I would recommend Jo Malone products overall because the scents are diverse and long-lasting.

Yuck.

If I could give this a zero, I would. It is such a disgusting scent that I had to shower to take it off. I received it as a sample from Nordstrom and usually like most fragrances. This was repulsive in my opinion. It was a very masculine scent and even if it were a men's fragrance, it was still the most horrible scent I think I have ever tried! Try this one in the store and don't be tricked by the wonderful sounding name!

Pricey but worth it

As a guy, I struggle to find a scent that's not too common, but also still "manly" enough. I found it with Jo Malone's Lime Basil & Mandarin. The scent is well balanced, not too sweet, not too spicy....it's one of those that just light enough and so well balanced that you'll feel great wearing it and likely receive ample compliments. It's especially suitable for hotter/more humid climates.
