Lime overdose
Sadly I don't get the hype for this one. I like sweet citrus cocktail scents, so I had high hopes for it, but I find it so unbalanced. Very heavy on the lime and rum, so it comes across really bitter in the opening. The coconut is much more subtle and can barely stand up to the strong lime note, it adds more texture than actual scent to the fragrance.
Even though I understand why this reminds many of a caipirinha, I don't find it quite sugary and refreshing enough for that. It's a very dense, un-sparkly scent, if that makes sense to you. Especially when you compare it to other citrus fragrances!
My biggest gripe with this is that the lime note just isn't very nicely done to my nose. You know those people who say citrus scents all smell like cleaning products or toilet rim blocks? I'm usually not one of them, but I can kind of see it here. It's just so aggressively clean and sour.
At first I thought maybe this was more of a masculine scent, which makes sense when you look at how many male Parfumo users own it compared to women. But my husband doesn't like it either, and I'm honestly not that keen on smelling it on anyone, regardless of gender.
To be fair, it's not completely awful. I could see why someone who favors lime above other citrus fruits and finds most other citrus fragrances too light would like it. But I'm honestly a bit confused how this got such a high rating, in my opinion it's a mediocre fragrance more fitting for a household product than a personal scent.
