About this fragrance
Lime Basil & Mandarin
Lime Basil & Mandarin is a Citrus Aromatic Cologne from Jo Malone London, released in 1999. The fragrance that put Jo Malone on the map and remains one of the most recognisable British colognes ever made. Lime, bergamot, and mandarin open with vivid, sparkling citrus brightness before basil, thyme, iris, and lilac develop an aromatic, herbal heart that is both crisp and refined. Vetiver and patchouli close the dry down with a clean, earthy base that grounds the brightness without diminishing it. Available in 30ml and 100ml, the 30ml is a natural everyday carry and a foundational layering piece for any Jo Malone collection.
Fresh, sharp and effortlessly elegant. A benchmark citrus fragrance that has held its ground for over two decades and remains the best starting point in the Jo Malone range.

What to Expect
The opening is immediately vivid, lime and bergamot giving a sharp, clean citrus brightness that mandarin softens and rounds without dulling. Basil develops quickly in the heart with its characteristic peppery, herbal sharpness that thyme reinforces, iris and lilac adding a soft floral quality that keeps the composition from feeling purely aromatic. The dry down is clean and grounded, vetiver and patchouli providing a quiet earthy depth that holds the fragrance well beyond the opening. Longevity is good for a citrus cologne; sillage is moderate. The 30ml is the ideal size for daily use and pairs beautifully with nearly any other Jo Malone cologne.
