Summer so I'm thinking lime!

[Mr. Bonney]

Avon island lime is the most pure lime scent in a splash for me.

Yep! See my avatar.

Royall Lyme, IMO, has a wonderful scent and lasts longer than most citrus based aftershaves that I have tried.

I did sniff that at Brooks bros thanks for mentioning this.

If you enjoy searing facial pain and smelling like a Lysol detergent wipe,

I heartily recommend:

Captain lime seems more on the bay rum family i like it but am searching for more citrus

i


Is the coconut mild? I'm concerned that the Stirling coconut and lime with the description of being in the islands will smell too much like Sun tan oil.

I have just tried tobs lime lemon and I like it very much. But there doesn't appear to be a matching af to go with the soap .Same for turtleship another great lime soap

I did not care for the Coconut Lime. Very little Lime and a lot of Coconut. It is the straight Lime which is wonderful.

I agree the heavy on the coconut makes me think Sun tan lotion

I've got wsp citrus on the way.

I mixed up one part each of Fine Italian Citrus, L'Orange Noir, Pinaud Citrus Musk, Bay Rum, and RR essential oil of lime.
Added one part alcohol, and enough menthol to make my eyes water.
I think I've found my summer "Margaritaville" scent.

Bootlegger Arctic Blast - One part Pinaud Lime Sec, one part Osage Rub. Cooling and a great scent.

B&m jacinthe was on sale so couldn't resist just added a spoon on menthol. The lemon and pear grabs you out of the bottle

Speaking of which, I just ordered some lime essential oil to add to some Old Spice "Original" scent. Just an experiment to see if I can make a passable version of Old Spice Fresh Lime that is not available in the US.

Apparently the PAA Lime Ginger Teatree scent is discontinued. They are sold out on their site.

Looks like I need to find a new favorite AS.

The Indian version is available easily on the bay for very reasonable prices. If your experiment tanks you can still get some if you wish. If your experiment is a success, I’d love to hear the ratios.

For a cheapie try Citrus Musk or Stirling lime scents. Both affordable and wonderful.

So far this is just free-styling. I started by taking what is approximately a little over half-full bottle of 150 ml Old Spice Classic (right off the shelf at Walmart) and adding 4 drops of therapeutic grade lime essential oil. I could barely notice the presence of lime scent, so this morning I added another 4 drops. That started to become more noticeable and more what I was looking for. So far so good for now.

I've actually ordered that on several occasions from Indian ebay sellers. Right now I'm not working with precise proportions (working with about a half full container of 150 ml OS) but will do so when this one is gone and I crack open my newest 150 ml bottle. So far so good. Over time I believe I'll get close enough to the Indian Fresh Lime OS version to be able to have a functional copy of it.
