Next Limits (1999)
by Myrurgia

I got this one as a present, but most likely i would have bought it anyway considering that i recieved it in summer, as this one is very fitting as a summer scent. Rather to be defined as a masculine than a unisex creation, because, while suitable for both genders, it has a certain crisp, energetic sporty note much more appropriate for the masculine side- especially the very active, outdoor- living, extreme sports-oriented masculine side. However, correct and discreet citrus notes can also make this scent suitable for more conservative wearers too, up to a certain extent this one being an ageless almost generless, easygoing, lightful scent. The fragrance notes are quite pungent and acid, with some strong astringent and antiseptic quality, the most easy recognizable ingredients- and just about all of them- being grapefruit, lavender and maybe some herbs, also a slightly powdery, yet not too different from the lighter opening, drydown. Thus it reminds of the twins Paco And Paco Energy by fellow Spanish designer Paco Rabanne- same grapefruit note, tough differently used in this one, but also of another famous unisex scent Eau d'Orange Verte by Hermes, due to the same balance between total acidity and partial sweetnesss, while the powdery drydown is just a bit like Minotaure, yet by far not that Oriental, persistent and heavy.
