Performance Metrics
81 VOTESOpen Performance Breakdown 1 TAKE
Performance appears light to moderate at best. It seems to open with more energy than it maintains, then settle into a closer skin scent with fairly restrained projection. That can work well in heat or casual settings, but it may disappoint anyone looking for long wear or a stronger trail.
Notes Pyramid
Search these notesChoose where each note belongs.
This is a sharp, sparkling citrus aromatic with plenty of ginger bite. The opening feels tart, bright, and slightly green, then moves into a breezier mojito-like freshness with a faint fruity accent. The base stays light, musky, and softly woody rather than creamy or sweet.
Main Accords
8 MAPPEDThe warm spicy accord gives the fragrance its main personality, but it does not turn heavy. Instead, the spice lifts the citrus and adds a brisk, fizzy edge. Woody and musky facets sit quietly underneath, giving structure without pulling the scent away from its fresh, tart, cocktail-like core.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“102 Ginger & Lime Review”
102 Ginger & Lime is a fresh spicy citrus that opens with real bite. The first impression is bright, sharp, and slightly abrasive, with ginger pushing hard against the citrus. It does not aim for a soft, juicy, easygoing opening. Instead, it comes across as zesty, brisk, and a little edgy, which will either feel energising or slightly too pointed, depending on your taste.
Very quickly, the scent starts to make more sense. Reviews consistently point to a mojito-like character, and that image fits. The citrus feels sparkling rather than sugary, with a cool cocktail freshness that keeps the composition lively. Grapefruit seems to do more of the work than the name might suggest, giving the fragrance a tart, almost unripe brightness. The ginger adds fizz and spice rather than warmth, so the overall effect stays airy and refreshing.
As it settles, 102 Ginger & Lime becomes easier to wear. The sharpness of the top fades, leaving a spicy citrus body with a faint fruity accent from black currant and a cleaner base underneath. Musk and sandalwood do not seem to turn it creamy or heavy. They mainly smooth the fragrance out and stop the citrus from feeling too thin. Even then, this remains a light-textured scent. It reads clean, breezy, and casual rather than deep or dressed up.
This style makes the fragrance especially suited to spring and summer, and much more at home in the daytime than at night. It has the kind of fresh, slightly spicy profile that works well for warm weather, travel, weekends, and relaxed office wear. If you like crisp citrus fragrances that feel a little more aromatic and grown-up than standard sporty fresh scents, there is something appealing here. If you want sweetness, plush woods, or a smoother opening, it may feel too lean.
Performance looks modest. The scent appears to wear fairly close to the skin after the opening, and longevity is one of the clearer cautions around it. That means it may work best as a refreshing personal scent rather than a fragrance that projects strongly for hours. Some people will not mind that at all, especially in heat. Others may find it hard to justify if they expect bigger presence or stronger value.
The appeal of 102 Ginger & Lime is its specific mood. It smells like a spiced citrus drink on a warm day, fresh air, bright light, and a bit of edge from the ginger. That gives it personality, even if it is not especially complex. Sample first if you are sensitive to sharp openings or expect strong staying power. For the right wearer, it is an easy, stylish warm-weather citrus with a cleaner, spicier twist.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence here is too thin for a hard dupe claim. The overall mood sits in the fresh citrus aromatic lane, especially the mojito-style, ginger-lifted kind of scent. If that profile appeals to you, compare it with other bright citrus and ginger summer fragrances rather than expecting a close one-to-one match.
