What does French Lime Blossom smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, and most voters pick spring and summer. Daily wear, leisure and the office come up most, while evening is rarely chosen. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is classed as unisex.

It opens with linden blossom and bergamot, a green, citrusy freshness. Tarragon in the heart keeps that green note going, and carnation in the base leaves a lightly spicy, sweet trace. The overall impression is floral and fruity, with a slightly synthetic edge. Acca Kappa Green Mandarin (Acqua di Colonia) and Mugler Mugler Cologne have a close profile.
