Natural Smelling Citrus Body Spray

This is one which I bought for summer and for use in hot weather. I love the natural smelling lime note here, along with the bergamot. I have lime essential oil and can confirm that this contains a very natural smelling lime note. My only problem with this one (the eau fraiche version), is that it is short lived. Of course this being a citrus eau de cologne style type of fragrance, I would expect that... so I guess I shouldn't be so surprised. With that being said, it is made by a distinguished British brand and uses very natural ingredients. This is one you can spray as much of as you like and it won't offend. I like it for hot weather, just don't expect it to do too much.

Very direct and very herbally fresh - a true purist!

As a world-famous supplier of fine English soaps and toiletries since 1884, Bronnley is well known to many. Bronnley is also the main supplier to the British royal family. Only a few brands survive for over a hundred years in the market, and the success of this company is likely due to the good price-performance ratio and the quality ingredients. High-quality perfume oils, fruit and flower essences, herbs, precious woods, and spices define the formulations.

Lime and Bergamot Eau Fraiche by Bronnley is a fragrance from the citrus family and is for both women and men. So, it is a unisex scent.

The top notes are lime, bergamot, and grapefruit;
The heart notes are lime, bergamot, and grapefruit;
The base notes are amber and woody notes.

The composition is extremely structured here: top notes of bright, slightly bitter lime, bergamot, and bitter grapefruit transition into a bed of warm amber and subdued woods.
The phases of the fragrance last a long time and are extremely easy to extract. There is no chaos among the manageable amount of ingredients.
What remains is a very fresh, herbaceous, very direct, and interesting scent.
Strongly citrusy yet not sour, it leans more towards the bitter direction and feels very balanced and harmonious.
Overall, it is a very puristic fragrance.

At first, it strongly reminded me of L'Eau de Chloé; it generally goes in that direction but is quite different in its later development: more decisive, stronger, more dominant. The later sweetness of L'Eau de Chloé is absent here. Thus, a man can wear it very well too.
By the way, I like it very much. Sometimes less is more, and it convinces here as well! :-)

More adult than it looks

Lime & Bergamot, at first glance, reads like one of the many Acqua Colonias from 4711, and the fruity-fresh packaging looks exactly like that. But far from it! What the British traditional house Bronnley is offering here quite affordably over the drugstore counter would certainly like to be a fully-fledged Chypre, as its efforts reminded me so much of Dior's genre classic "Eau Fraîche".

Just a few days ago, I somewhat deliberately (that is, without knowing the scent and only based on the classification of the competition) changed the categorization from "female" to "unisex". In the meantime, I would take that back. "Lime & Bergamot" might be a bit too delicate for male skin. Although the two citrus notes are clearly in the foreground, we are dealing here neither with piercing lemons nor with icy freshness, neither with a classic Eau de Cologne nor with an aftershave for the shaving brush faction, but rather with a gentle and very calm, predominantly feminine skin scent... a - please don't misunderstand - pleasant sophisticated gray veil that relocates Tuscany to the British countryside. I was quite surprised.
