I'm relatively new to frags and am trying to avoid developing full-blown AD (but quickly failing). My small collection is mainly fall and winter scents so I started looking into something I can wear for summer. I'm not into florals, but like citrus, so that is where I started looking. I tried this scent and knew immediatly it was for me. Simply put, it is lemon. Just lemon. Not powdery, not syrupy, and not biting. Just a nice lemon. It's a very linear scent, which is why I like it. Longevity is good, at least 4 hours on me, usually longer. Also, solid bottle with a good atomizer. I think it would be hard to "over do it" with this one.

To date, this is the best summer-citrus fragrance I own. I have tried a lot of different lime colognes, mainly avoiding lemon because of it's "tartness", but I believe Bigelow has tamed the tart.
Price rating is a solid 10 due to how much i like the stuff.
I believe it to a be a high quality scent, it is a bigelow product after all.
It came in a manilla box, cradled inside by cardboard. This was the first fragrance I have bought that I was impressed by the box actually.
The atomizer is very good, it gets a 10. I have had no issues with it so far. Consistent volume every time, very nice.
Scent lingers and slowly dwindles for about 8 hours, until it is almost non-existent.
Scent and complexity: Scent is the main reason we buy the juice, so here's my take on Bigelow's Lemon. Right at the start, you get a mellow, but firm bite of lemon. Not as sharp as lemon pledge or industrial grade cleaning supplies, it still packs a firm but fair bite of lemon. It only takes a few minutes for the subtle musk to cut in and slow things down a bit. After that first 30 minutes it really relaxes, into a creamy and soft lemon
, gently over-taken by the sweetness of white musk scent. I could faintly notice it as I left work, so it lasted a good 7-8 hours. The scent is a bit on the light airy side, like think more mids and treble and less base. That, IMHO, makes it a great summer scent. Solid 8
I can understand that not everyone is into citrus scents, but seeing that summer is right around the bend, I wanted to get this review up on air just to give you all a general idea of it, and if you might like it. If you like subtle citrus scents with a twist of musk, this one is a good one.
