This No Limit stuff really wowed me. In the store, there was an open bottle, I sprayed it in the cap and it came off as a creamy citrus. I said ehh.. good enough to try, I do have a love for creamy citruses like Love & Luck, and Arpege pH. So I opened it up in the car, did one spray on the wrist.. forgot about it. I go to smell it 30 mins later and was blown away. It turned into a watermelon dominated smell. A very good watermelon too, one of the better watermelon notes I've come across. It maintained this creamy citrus. Drying down now, it's woodsy, ambery, I get a caramel note, and anise. It's very very complex, but overall smells amazing. This is just my initial impression from one spray to the hand, I'm sure my opinion will change on certain things, but this is definitely something I will enjoy in the time to come.

Although this isn't the "Spotted @ Ross, TJM etc" thread.. I would like to say, to check out your Kmart stores. They had some crazy one of a kinds. Several of these No Limit frags. They had one bottle of California for Men by Dana, in the newer bottle, which was on sale for like 10 bucks, it's been discontinued and goes for much more online. I picked up to smell it to reminisce, it's a beach-citrus fragrance. I don't care for it, but it's nice for the collector. they also had that discontinued Old Spice frag I think it's called OS Signature or something. They had some 1.7 oz Samba's, and Escada Sunset Heat 1.6 for 14.99, which I might go back for. I was hoping to find a bottle of Chaps by RL, but to no avail, definitely some cool stuff though that brought a big smile to my face.
