7.6

Brocard

Floral · Green · Fruity

Mandarin orange, lemon and pomegranate add a fruity brightness, while cistus and sandalwood deepen the chypre feel. A spicy thread runs through it.

Malibu Lemon Blossom (Perfume)

7.1

Pacifica · 2008

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Pacifica Malibu Lemon Blossom is a fresh, citrusy and lightly sweet floral made for women, and it has been discontinued. The notes read as one whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Lemon blossom and litsea cubeba lead with citrus, while angel's trumpet adds a soft floral touch. Sea breeze and herbs keep it green and airy, and the fruity, sweet undertones round off any sharpness. Voters find both longevity and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and fades quickly, though the number of votes is small. Its floral-citrus profile is close to Monotheme Boccioli di Limone and Comptoir Sud Pacifique Jardin Néroli.
