Its picture is citrus trees and aromatic herbs on a cool, crisp breeze. Mandarin opens, basil carries the heart and amberwood closes, with lime and white thyme named in the brand's own description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Mandarin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Basil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBright and tart\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMandarin leads, and the brand pairs it with zesty lime. Both read as tart rather than sweet: a bright, slightly bitter citrus snap that feels more like peel than juice. It is the loudest part of the scent and also the part that settles first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHerbs in the breeze\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBasil takes the heart, and the brand calls it peppery, with white thyme adding an unexpected twist. The result is green and aromatic, with a hint of kitchen-garden sharpness that stops the citrus from reading as soap or sweets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAmberwood warms up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmberwood forms the base: a warm, dry, woody note without sugar. It supports the citrus rather than competing with it, and makes the finish rounder and a little sunnier than the fresh opening suggests. The scent ends calm and clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLime Basil \u0026amp; Mandarin is made for warm weather, mornings, the office, travel and any moment that calls for something crisp and clean. Spray it on the neck, chest and wrists, and spray again whenever you want the citrus back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor people who prefer citrus that is tart and herbal rather than sweet, and want one scent for work, travel and warm days. The brand's menu puts it under Citrus, and it is listed here as a unisex scent. It is less suited to anyone looking for vanilla, resin or darkness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose Jo Malone London Lime Basil \u0026amp; Mandarin\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreated in 1991 by perfumer Lucien Piquet, it is still on the brand's list today, where it is called a modern classic. The twist sits in its description: peppery basil and white thyme next to the lime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs it just a citrus cologne?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Citrus is the opening; basil gives the heart a green, peppery side, and amberwood adds a warm, dry base.
