Marc Jacons Splash Lemon (2009)
by Marc Jacobs

Fairly nice, but again, should be “more” for the price. Puts me in mind of the neroli in Salvatore Ferragamo, which might offer a better pleasure-for-the-penny ratio. Still … me likes me citruses, so I will happily follow directions and “Splash Lemon” and maybe even “Layer Lemon.”

Yet another lemon Cologne? That's what I thought before trying it. This one is quite different from those typical Eaux de Cologne - it does without that dry herbal basil note and has a very pleasant sweetness, just like lemon ice-cream. Maybe it smells a bit artificial and cheap at first - but if you wear it, it is very easy-to-like.

My first impression, Jean Nate-like. Not long lasting, nothing to write home about, particularly at its price. Most definitely a summer scent.

This reminds me a bit of CKOne from the 90's, but it's not quite as sharp. It's vaguely citrussy, but not expressly lemony as you would get in the rind, and it has a soft cottony musk (Bath & Body Works) quality as well. It's refreshing to splash on after a shower. I'm enjoying it, but it isn't a knock-yer-socks off scent; rather, it's pleasant, uncomplicated and undemanding. I won't repurchase because there are so many of this type to explore. I'm giving it a thumbs up because I actually do wear it occasionally, but really it's more of a "neutral and a half". :)
