Sokoloff – :
I love this refreshing burst of lime. I have to admit it is my nighttime aromatherapy before bedtime along with the lavender one at times. I don’t think it lasts long enough to be enjoyed during the workday without reapplying.
Safer – :
Lovely. Very much lime with a hint of nutmeg. Could it be I smell a whisper of vanilla-like sweetness in here? I think this isn’t really unisex. Its female in nature, but some men smell devine wearing womens perfume…
Longevity is not that bad, I could smell it all day on my skin (allright, I sprayed very liberally, but for that price, I guess you’re supposed to bathe in it).
tigral – :
Another favourite from the 4711 Acqua Colonia line, and like the others this does what it says on the bottle. You get a fresh burst of lime tempered by the spicy nutmeg. This is probably the freshest lime I’ve ever experienced in a bottle.
Unfortunately, like the rest of the line as well, sillage and longevity leave a lot to be desired. However, at this price, one can’t complain – just keep reapplying to your hearts content.
SuSaNiN – :
Good price! I am not happy with gender in perfumery but aman would smell really good in it! Whole brand is interesting. This one is really fresh and lime is my fav scent in the planet.
dorgen – :
Fresh and natural, it smell close to Carven vetiver on the dry down. Probably the nutmeg in it. I like it for warmer weather
solin – :
This one smells like a cleaning product. It is strange sweet and it smells old. Luckly it desapears very quickly, on clothes too.
This is not a strong dislike but i don´t like it either.

A FRESH DISAPPOINTMENT FROM 4711
_______________________________________________________
Ever since ‘Melissa & Verbena’ I’ve grown to have respect for 4711. That is why I could hardly wait for Lime & Nutmeg.
I tried it today and, as expected, it’s very fresh. I could literary taste the nutmeg in my mouth.
Unfortunately, like so many other scents from 4711, it doesn’t last too long.
Overall:
Opinion: not bad – 5/10.
Longetivity: bad – 2/10
Sillage: poor ( ;-(( ) – 1/10
All in all: 2 out of 10 points.
