What does Series 8: Energy C - Lime smell like?

Lime, green lemon and bergamot set the first impression, and the scent stays fresh, citrusy and green. Tea rose, water jasmine and lily of the valley soften that sharpness with a floral touch, while cedar and musk sit quietly behind, adding a light woody, earthy base.

Voters pick it most for daily wear, leisure and sport, and less often for the office. Its longevity is rated moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. It suits men and women alike. Kiton Kiton Men and Bond No. 9 West Broadway have a close profile.
