On the skin, the fragrance remains light and dry. The musk in the base is of the clean, laundry-adjacent variety, rather than anything animalic. It blends with the cedar to create a subtle, clean woodiness that sits close to the body. There is no sweetness here, which is a relief for those who dislike sugary summer fruits.

EDITORIAL“Toni Cabal 011W Lime & Cassis: A Dry Citrus Refresher”
The opening of Toni Cabal's 011W - Lime & Cassis is all about brightness. When first sprayed, you get a sharp, zesty lime that feels incredibly clean. The cassis accompanies it immediately, providing a green, slightly tart backing that stops the citrus from smelling like cleaning fluid. It is a wake-up call of a scent, ideal for hot mornings when you need an immediate blast of freshness.
After about twenty minutes, the sharp edges of the opening begin to soften. The Virginia cedar emerges, presenting a dry, clean woodiness that anchors the composition. This transition is smooth, and the wood never feels heavy or dark. Instead, it maintains the airy, fresh character of the opening while adding a much-needed structure to the fleeting citrus notes.
On the skin, the fragrance remains light and dry. The musk in the base is of the clean, laundry-adjacent variety, rather than anything animalic. It blends with the cedar to create a subtle, clean woodiness that sits close to the body. There is no sweetness here, which is a relief for those who dislike sugary summer fruits.
Performance is average for a citrus-forward Eau de Parfum. You will get around four to five hours of total wear, with the projection dropping to a skin scent after the first hour. It performs best in high heat, where the warmth of your skin helps the cedar and musk project a bit more.
This is an easy-going fragrance that fits casual summer outfits. It goes well with a simple white tee, linen shirts, or activewear. It is entirely unisex, avoiding both the sweet florals of traditional feminine scents and the heavy spices of classic masculine colognes.
Overall, 011W - Lime & Cassis is a reliable, refreshing summer option. If you want a simple, high-quality lime and wood scent that does not try to do too much, this is worth checking out. It does not last all day, but it smells great while it stays.
