The review
On paper, Lime, Basil and Mandarin is a strong bet if you want Lime Basil & Mandarin for less.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lime Basil & Mandarin's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Lime Basil & Mandarin — the cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Essence Vault publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on lime, mandarin orange and bergamot, turns to basil, iris and lilac, and settles into patchouli and vetiver. That is the brief Lime, Basil and Mandarin is working from.

Zesty lime cut with peppery basil, the crisp cologne every Jo Malone counter smells of.
