Lime Basil & Mandarin

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin

Lime Basil & Mandarin is a fresh citrus and herb scent, and our version keeps that feel: a zesty lime and mandarin opening, a green basil heart, and a soft woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Jo Malone built its name on clean, elegant, layerable scents, and Lime Basil & Mandarin is one of its signatures, pairing juicy citrus with a peppery basil twist.

Our interpretation follows that character. We keep the lime and mandarin crisp up top, add basil and thyme in the middle, and finish on a soft vetiver and amberwood base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a boutique release sold at premium pricing. We build ours at a high perfume oil concentration and sell direct, so you get the same character for a fraction of the price.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a fresh, clean, unisex citrus scent for daytime and warm weather.
