Simple but great.
Brilliant fragrance. Very zesty and fresh! It opens with a blast of freshly squeezed lime juice and stays that way throughout.

Note: The bottle I have is a vintage formulation called "Extract of West Indian and Sicilian Limes", Coincidentally that version is also one of Prince Charles' personal fragrances... so apparently you should wear this if you want to feel like a British Royal heir!

Highly recommended for summer and all year round!

Soft and Subtle
For me, the scent is fresh, slightly sweet, soft, lightly floral, not sour, subtle, and has no sharp citrus note.
Compared to the namesake from Truefitt & Hill, this fragrance is softer, more restrained, less lemony but also less fresh from the start. I don't find a citrus explosion at the beginning, as with Truefitt & Hill. I don't notice any spicy or woody notes. I cannot detect any development of the fragrance on me. As is often the case with citrus scents, the longevity is poor, worse than with the fragrance from Truefitt & Hill. However, there are people for whom this scent lasts all day (reviews on basenotes.net). Sprayed on the wrist, I can only perceive the scent of Crabtree & Evelyn very faintly after about 45 minutes. In contrast, I can still smell the fragrance from Truefitt & Hill clearly (both sprayed at the same time).
In my opinion, West Indian Lime by Crabtree & Evelyn is not only suitable for men.

The Spicy Lime
I got this eau de cologne last summer. The longevity is correspondingly a bit shorter, but the price-performance ratio is great. €39.00 for 100 ml.
The scent starts, as the name suggests, with a strong citrus accord. The lime is more dominant. The lemon doesn't play a big role on my skin. The vetiver adds an interesting green nuance.
The heart note supports the top note mainly through the ginger. The spices take away the typical shower gel character that citrus scents usually have.
The woods in the base note are relatively subtle and allow the entire fragrance to fade away pleasantly.
Although West Indian Lime is found among men's fragrances, it can be considered a unisex scent.
Special tip: in summer, place the fragrance in the refrigerator, then it refreshes even more. A longer longevity can be achieved by spraying the fragrance on clothing.

Lime, not sweet, with slight ginger. Not so white-noisy as Bronnley, if you've tried that. Very refreshing; matching shampoo is a treat.

Spicy aromatic lime lies in a herb garden. Refreshment in British style.

Subtle, skin-like citrus scent without harsh peaks/sweetness/synthetics/toilet ambiance. Instead, it has a soft spiciness and powdery wood.
Unisex.
