Sharp lime and mandarin over crushed basil, tangy and green with a herbal bite. It's clean and vivid, projecting with an energetic zest that feels like a cold drink on a warm day.

How Lime Basil & Mandarin smells, measured

On Zenyra's five taste axes, Lime Basil & Mandarin keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere, and reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin.

Warmthcool, open0.25

Lime Basil & Mandarin reads cool and open, nearer to citrus and air than to skin. That is 9th percentile for warmth across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projectionroom-filling0.71

Lime Basil & Mandarin carries across a room and announces itself. That is 89th percentile for projection across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.29

Lime Basil & Mandarin is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 33rd percentile for risk across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Texturemid-range0.46

Lime Basil & Mandarin sits mid-range on texture, which for a fragrance with thin wear data reflects an absence of reports rather than a measured middle. That is 39th percentile for texture across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.05

Lime Basil & Mandarin keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for sweetness across 5,322 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
