Description
“Day breaks on a shady Grecian citrus grove perched upon a coastal cliff. A meander through the fragrant maze of Lime and Bergamot trees reveals an artesian spring, bubbling up from the depths of ancient bedrock. As you slip into the crystal clear water, you’re instantly awakened by the mingling scents of zesty Limes and cool Minerals… This traditional ‘limewash’, or ‘whitewash’, is painted on the delicate citrus tree bark to offer protection against sun-scald, creating a surreal Mediterranean landscape of stark white skeletal trunks against a backdrop of vibrant green foliage.”

I was intrigued by both the brand and the notes. This is spot on what I would imagine limestone to smell like. I did not mess with the votes on the main notes because it is exactly what I get. Primarily a marine note (the seashells) and lime. The champaca sweeten the composition just a little bit. I would have like to smell the incense but if it’s here it’s very faint. Sillage and longevity are pretty weak but I like the charming subtleness of Limestone a lot. I will explore more of this brand ASAP.

There is a poolboy. His clients are very wealthy. They use only the best, newest, trendiest, vegan chemicals and salts to keep clean.
He’s medium tan, a little sweaty. So young he glistens, still smells like his mother’s kitchen: chopped herbs and hot peppers.
Exotic flowers blossom. They’re so striking you almost don’t notice that there is no accompanying scent.
Rocks line the edges of the pool, basking in the sun, providing too convenient steps to climb down, because ladders are passe.
Lush ferns, green grass, a fresh breeze.
It’s a lovely picture. But, like looking at a picture so vivid you think you smell it, Limestone is so fleeting I’m barely sure it’s there most of the time. I’ve tried on several occasions, but it remains the same: gone inside 45 minutes.
