* I have never smelled Calacas Halloween-themed slime soap before, but it’s listed as lime jellybeans.
* The top is definitely lime with a hint of tangerine – reminding me a lot of 25:43, but instead of lime and caramel it is lime with a bit of light floral.
* The citrus gets juicier and sweeter after the initial burst. It quickly becomes a skin scent (after about 30 minutes)
* But wait – it comes back for a second round about an hour later – where it’s new and improved dirty lime. Lime with a bit of skank and attitude. Almost like a slutty lime, if you could imagine.
* The dry down is a light and dry floral woody skin scent.
Summary: I’ve never smelled Calacas soap before, so I can’t tell if this is close. Calacas is definitely a brother fragrance to 25:43 for the lime story, but of the two I prefer 25:43. Calacas is a nice lime scent and of better quality than anything else in the price point range. Longevity is good at 8 hours, and this is probably the most office-friendly of the special line.
