Extract of Limes
by Penhaligon's
Penhaligon's Extract of Limes is a highly concentrated citrus fragrance that captures the bright, tangy essence of real lime, with prominent notes of lemon, lime, and petitgrain, accented by a subtle hint of neroli. It is remarkably fresh and natural in character, delivering a crisp, vibrant opening that feels like stepping directly into a citrus grove. While the scent is praised for its authenticity and suitability for summertime wear, it lacks depth and longevity. Most users report it fades rapidly—typically within 30 to 90 minutes—leaving little trace behind, with sillage that is faint to intimate at best.
Pros
- +Authentic, natural lime scent that is highly distinctive and true to its name.
- +Extremely refreshing and ideal for hot weather or post-exercise use.
- +Minimal base notes truly suit those who prioritize pure, clean citrus without complexity.
Cons
- −Extremely short longevity, fading completely within less than an hour.
- −Sillage is entirely intimate, making it nearly invisible to others.
- −Can evoke associations with cleaning fluids or harsh industrial solvents, especially for sensitive or strongly negative-scent filtered individuals.
