What does Extract of Limes smell like?

It has been discontinued. It wears light: longevity is moderate and sillage weak. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Slightly more voters call it masculine than feminine, though the feminine share is far from small.

Lime and citrus notes give it a bright, fruity start. Petitgrain and neroli add a green, faintly bitter depth to that brightness. A spicy edge shows among the accords, and the scent stays dry and clean rather than sweet.
