Call me pedictable but I love a good citrus fragrance with a woody, musky base and that's exactly what this is. The best citrus fragrance I've ever tried in fact. It has so much zing it quite simply has to be smelled to be believed. It's not just lime though, it's a wonderful blend of citrus fruits and you get them all...It should be called Azure sublime really! A few people saying it's like Neroli Portofino...can't see that myself, other than it being fresh and having some citrus in. Oh and the bottles are very similiar. ;) Although I love citrus scents... is this really original enough? I don't doubt there's other more affordable options out there and some that stand up to this or are indeed better so I won't be rushing to get it. The only thing you need to know is that the Tom Ford private collection is great and Azure Lime is no exception.
I have to well and truly eat my words on this one. I have a proper sample now and after recent wears have discovered that neroli is obviously a key component in this fragrance but I wouldn't class it as a white floral scent. The neroli has to be there to compliment the lime and give a clean feel but also as a key for the citrus to grip on to and prolong their scent. This works very well and I get decent longevity from it but I've changed my mind about wanting this fragrance in my collection, and that's simply because of the price. It's always been something of a sticking point about Tom Ford scents but if something's worth it, it's worth it. Unfortunately this is not quite worth £140 for me but I have to say Azure Lime's dry down is very nice and above all very masculine, at least on my skin anyway.
