The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2013, Limette 37 San Francisco by Le Labo is a citrus and aromatic fragrance that embodies the crispness of its namesake city. Perfumer Frank Voelkl crafted this scent with a bright opening of lemon and bergamot that cuts through to an aromatic heart of lavender and green notes, giving it a fresh spicy edge. The base layers in musk and woody accords for a warm, powdery finish. It is neither too sweet nor overpowering, striking a balance between brightness and depth.
A single spritz is enough to capture the essence of this fragrance. The citrus and aromatic notes are most vibrant in the first hour but give way to a warm, powdery base that lasts well into the evening.
