The Different Company Limon de Cordoza is centered around the eponymous note of lemon and other citrus, but touched with bits of mint, vetiver, gaiac, freesia, and neroli.
It’s predictably fresh, overall quite light, and nuanced, sharpened by the mint and vetiver, specifically, which prevent the fragrance from drifting into “citrus-only” or “juicy, sweet citrus” territory.
It feels fresh but classy, exuberant but reserved, making for a versatile offering as far as gender and age.
Pricing of $125 for 100ml walks the line between being excessive for the lack of performance and just right for a perfume of fine quality and energy, and a rather useful warm weather option.
7 out of 10

Very nice, summery, refreshing orange scent! It’s very subtle. Office safe for 100%. It does not change at all. After many hours I can still smell the fresh orange opening. However, stillage is very soft. Basically, it’s a typical skin-scent.

Used a sample of this:
I loved this stuff. It was a freshly cut grass mixed with lemon with a great patchouli dry down.
Sadly, this is probably the most fleeting scent I have ever come across. After the beautiful opening, the patchouli dry down comes in approximately 15 minutes later and it’s very faint. What a disappointment.
Scent: 8/10
Longevity: 1/10
Sillage: 1/10

Gorgeous, soft, zesty citrus. This is very refreshing and light. I wish the tart top notes stuck around for longer, but the drydown is nice as is with the warm pleasant orange scent with a hint of green. No hint of patchouli or mint to be found. It’s very pretty, but the sillage is light and I’m skeptical about longevity as well. I’d love to have a bottle but the price is a problem for me with this house. Perhaps at some point in the future.

This smells like lemons. Big time. A huge, zesty burst of lemons. This will make it reminiscent of cleaning products since they tend to use lots of lemon for their scents. No big deal. If people are writing honest reviews, they’ll say if a frag reminds them of something else. If it reminds someone of Lemon Pledge, then that’s what they think of when they smell it, so obviously they’ll say so in a review. There’s no need for any fuss to be made about that.
There’s a hint of a sweet orange underneath the lemon and a hint of carefully used pepper than doesn’t make this tickle the nose, but instead just adds a bit of oomph to all that citrus.
The vetiver is very noticeable, but I can’t say I get any patchouli or woods.
It leans too masculine for my personal taste, but I could see this working really well on a guy in the summer. It’s bold and sparkling, but the vetiver offers a kind of cool shrug which makes it more nonchalant than most citrus scents I’ve tried.
It’s pretty linear and longevity isn’t wonderful (3-4 hours).
Overall, a nice, masculine citrus that offers something a little new for citrus lovers but doesn’t last long enough to be worth the price.

Masculine scent with mucho lemon right out of the gate…but kindof like lemon over grilled meat. Has a very Greek kitchen feel (perhaps the combo of lemon and mint?). Caught just a whiff of what I think is the sweet woodiness of guaiac but it didn’t last; notes list neroli but I didn’t pick that up at all. A definite no on me, but at least it isn’t boring!

Big Thumbs up to you Esteban747: I too I’m so tired of that over-used and rather senseless cliche: “smells like pledge”.,,., duh…….. And……..?!?! Gorgeous frag, weak on longevity and projection…., but interestingly the sillage is quite good on me…..?!?! Perhaps the heat my body generates causes it to radiate from my body very nicely….. To my knowledge, Jean-Claude Ellena had a hand in starting this company….. Based on his DNA, his blending and the quality natural ingredients he uses, it’s unrealistic to expect monster projection and longevity on his frags, especially the citrus-based ones…. Oh yeah, one more thing: YES, it is a very very close cousin of Cologne Bigarade, the nose behind which is……….?????? You guessed it!

Really really really love the smell, however, it’s the same with Tokyo Bloom, it won’t last.

Beautiful frag! Was what i looking for a long time. Lemon lemon lemon and more lemon! Simple as that. In the end/drydown, a little bit of patchouli and vetiver.
10/10.

Sourish lemon and green minty nuances on a soft woody base. Personally, when it comes to hesperidic fragrances, I prefer either more classic takes on the main theme such as several Guerlain’s Eaus, Eau D’Hadrien, Chanel’s Eau De Cologne (to name a few), or more avant-garde iterations a-la Comme Des Garcons Soda. With that said, Lemon De Cordoza is a nicely blended, inoffensive lemony cologne but is as exciting as lukewarm water.
Rating: 6.5/10

It’s lemon, no doubt about it. I like citrus scents, especially lemon.
So, I’m tired of this comments about “smelling like furniture cleaning product”, “bathroom cleaner”, “floor cleaner”, etc.
Yes, household cleaning products usually smell like lemon, so what?
The opening is quite a blast of lemon, as if you open your door and somebody squeeze a lemon right in your face. But it quickly (very so) calms down, becoming smooth, almost creamy.
Then gets soapy.
I guess this is a nice summer or spring fragrance. It’s fresh, clean and light. I only wish the opening blast of lemon would last longer, because it truly develops fast and sooner than you may expect the drydown is here.

I was taken aback a bit by the Lemon Pledge opening of The Different Company LIMON DE CORDOZA, but it clears out fairly swiftly. leaving behind more of a mixed citrus scent with just a touch of sweetness. The drydown offers a detectable albeit light waft of patchouli.
I compared this fragrance side-by-side with Annick Goutal EAU D’HADRIEN, and the latter seemed more complex and appealing to me. It also had much better longevity. Still, the combination of notes in LIMON DE CORDOZ is interesting enough to warrant testing by amateurs of citrus scents.
