Key notes
LimeGrapefruitMandarinBasilJasmine
Jenny Glow built Lime & Basil as an impression of the Jo Malone, and the lime-and-basil skeleton lands — the same bright citrus over a green herbal heart. The catch is concentration: this is an eau de parfum against a cologne, so it wears denser and the basil pushes harder, but it stays on skin for hours instead of fading before lunch. Community pick
