What wearers say

“The opening is like an artificially flavoured sherbet bomb, I prefer the dry down. I have a 9ml to use and won't repurchase. Wood Sage and Sea Salt is the same for performance, I prefer the dry down but don't like to wait through the opening.”

“This has a slightly plastic smell - which almost smells like a Barbie Doll's head that has been left out in the summer heat.This has extremely good longevity. Yes, I agree with some of the other reviews - this perfume has a depth to it that could be worn by men, but does not have the aftershave smell that would make this smell too masculine on a woman.I would definitely try this perfume. See how this blends with your chemistry.--------------This perfume lasts, this is almost over 10 hours of wear, I can still smell this after 10 hours of wear!”

“Smells great, doesn't last for anything. Probably the worst longevity out of any cologne I've smelt or owned. Nautica Voyage last longer than this. If you want to smell like fresh, citrus, and herb you would like this but be warned you have to carry a decant and respray like 10 times during the day.”

Sillage

The clone omits the lilac, thyme, and bergamot elements, resulting in a simpler, more straightforward scent that prioritizes the titular lime and basil without the original's floral-herbal balance. The base notes are present but likely lack the refined iris component that provides elegance in Jo Malone's composition.

Sillage

The clone omits key floral notes (lilac, iris) and has a simpler base construction, resulting in a more straightforward herb-citrus scent. Jenny Glow's version also typically shows reduced longevity and sillage compared to the original's Cologne concentration.
