Kaffir-limeblad

I’ve tried a lot of citrus perfumes that go sour or soapy on me, but this one stays crisp and green like the actual leaf is crushed on my wrist. The vibrancy lasts for hours without turning sharp, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

It’s rare that a fragrance feels so true to its name, but this one captures that exact green, citrusy snap of a fresh kaffir lime leaf. The vibrancy lasts for hours on my skin without turning soapy, which is usually my dealbreaker. I’ve already reached for it more than any other scent this month.

The first spritz hit me with a sharp, green bitterness that’s surprisingly close to the real leaf, then it calms into something clean and almost citrusy. I’ve worn it to work and gotten two compliments already. The longevity is solid for an artistic fragrance, easily lasting my full eight-hour shift
