He can also be fresh!
If you know the Private Blend line, you know that the name is the game.
Hmmmm, that's what you say at first when you know the line and see this fragrance; limes are usually quite fresh, and the Private Blend line is not known for fresh scents, rather heavy, dark, sweet, etc.
So can this work???
YEEEES!!! It can, and how!
Right after spraying, the lime greets you, and to my nose, there's a hint of cedar, very similar to the opening of Cedro Atlas: III Robinson by Nobile 1942, but a bit more refined and sensitive.
After a short time, lemon balm joins the lime, and a gentle base of light, fortunately, only very subtly used flowers forms as a foundation.
The fresh top note lasts surprisingly long; during 4 days of testing, it always lasted at least 5 hours!
However, after about 4 hours, you notice how it slowly fades, and the previously blooming plants completely disappear, replaced by warm woods; I think I smell sandalwood.
If you wait a little longer until the top note is gone, it blooms again, but no longer so fresh, rather mixed with musk, creating a lightly fresh sweet blend that somewhat reminds me of lemonade; I can't think of a better way to describe it.
The freshly bloomed freshness lasts surprisingly long and holds its own against the other Private Blend line fragrances.
At least 1 day; I didn't want to walk around unwashed any longer :-).
Personally, I must say that in my eyes, it is a wonderful fragrance for mixing; my tip is to blend it with Japon Noire, which becomes a bit fresher and brighter with Azure Lime, and it also gains some interesting aspects; even though the blend becomes fresher, nothing of the dark mystique of Japon Noire is lost.
My conclusion is:
A great scent that truly surprised me because it definitely brings out a side that I didn't think was possible within the Private Blend line; it also proves that every person can find at least one good scent for themselves in their collection.
In conclusion, I can only say: applause for such a wonderful and fresh scent; I wouldn't have expected that from you.

I like the scent too, especially because you rarely find such a fresh fragrance that lasts so long, at least on my skin. Good comment.

I tested Azure Lime today. I find the scent to be a harmless and thin citrus water that could just as well be called "Sport Lime." :-(

I find it better than an 815 Sport scent, but I have to admit that I wear **rose-colored glasses** when it comes to Uncle Tom.

I haven't tested Azure Lime myself yet, but I've heard it's supposed to be a harmless sporty scent. I'll definitely be able to try it out next month.
