Lime Green Hearse Atmosphere Spray

[Jenjin]

A shiny, genteel, vintage ride for

all those who feel dead inside:
lime rind, citron, petitgrain, white musk,

a swish of bay rum and a bit of black pepper.

This is LIME LIME LIME LIME with slightly sweet white musk, and the sharpness of bay rum and black pepper in the background.

 

You just zested and juiced 6 limes and ground fresh black pepper for a recipe, and on the stove you are reducing a simple syrup with a bit of orange.

General Impression: Slightly sweet, fresh, bright, tart, citrusy. 

Notes I can smell: Lime and citron with vague hints of other notes around the edges. 

 

The only notes that really pop out here are the lime and the citron (with the lime securely in the lead). They're both fresh, but unexpectedly sweet notes. I cannot smell the white musk as a separate note, but it seems to be giving the lime a slightly fizzy quality. In the background, I can smell a hint of rum and perhaps black pepper (but I have to really concentrate to notice). 

 

I like lime. But I don't like it THIS much. I wish the other notes were more apparent.

Smells like Sprite to me more than anything else, like a small child poured a bag of sugar over a glass of Sprite and now the fizzy, sugary mess is everywhere.  I get zero authentic/natural smelling lime or citrus (it's.. Sprite with extra sugar, and I dunno how else to describe it) and absolutely no pepper or bay rum.  It's very sickly sweet and artificial smelling.  I would love to have a room spray that smells like freshly squeezed limes, which is what I was hoping for here, but I don't think I'd identify lime at all if I didn't know the name of this one.
