Lime Basil & Mandarin

Launched in 1999, Lime Basil & Mandarin is a benchmark citrus aromatic from Jo Malone. The opening is a bright, sharp trio of lime, mandarin orange, and bergamot—vivid and immediate, with the bitterness of real citrus peel rather than sweetness. As it settles, the heart reveals an unexpected herbal twist: basil and thyme bring a green, slightly spicy character, while lilac and iris add a soft floral powder that keeps the composition from being merely a cologne splash. The base of vetiver and patchouli grounds the fragrance with earthy woodiness, extending its life beyond typical citrus expectations.

This is a unisex scent that suits those who appreciate crisp, natural-smelling citrus with an aromatic backbone. It's ideal for warm weather, daytime wear, or anytime you want a lift of freshness. Collectors of Jo Malone's early output will recognize its straightforward, ingredient-focused style—less about complexity, more about clarity and quality. The 100% citrus accord is tempered by 79% aromatic and 78% fresh spicy facets, making it more than a simple eau de cologne. If you enjoy green, herbal, and woody citrus fragrances, this is a worthy addition.

1999年推出嘅Lime Basil & Mandarin係Jo Malone嘅經典柑橘香。前調係青檸、橘子同佛手柑，酸爽明亮，帶有真實果皮嘅微苦。中調加入羅勒同百里香，帶來綠色草本同微辛感，再以丁香同鳶尾嘅柔和粉香平衡。基調嘅岩蘭草同廣藿香提供木質土壤氣息，令留香比一般柑橘香更持久。整體係中性香，適合鍾意清爽自然柑橘、又想要層次感嘅人。春夏日常、辦公室或休閒場合都啱用。如果你追求簡潔純粹嘅香材表現，呢支值得收藏。
