What does West Indian Lime smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus layer of lime, mandarin orange and lemon. The heart turns spicy and herbal with nutmeg, coriander and rosemary. Patchouli, sandalwood and iris settle it onto a woody base.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and business come up most often. Most votes call it masculine, with classic and modern votes as well. Dior Granville and Creed Bois du Portugal have a close profile.
