Mike ParrottBertrand Duchaufour

"Extract of Limes is a minimalist citrus fragrance originally introduced by Penhaligon's in 1963 and later revived for the Anthology Collection in 2009. Its central character is built around vivid lime and lemon oils, with petitgrain providing a bitter green edge. Neroli adds a soft floral brightness and a lightly honeyed, orange-blossom effect. The composition is deliberately spare, with no formal base-note pyramid in the house presentation. In the drydown, sheer musk gives the citrus a soft, close-to-skin finish. Its refreshing, classic cologne character is balanced by notably fleeting performance."

Reviews Summary

“Extract of Limes is praised for its photorealistic, juicy lime opening, effervescent citrus character, bitter green petitgrain, and soft honeyed neroli. Its main limitation is performance: it typically fades within three to four hours and settles into a discreet skin musk.”
