The community is divided on Lemon Line, with some appreciating its bold citrus character and candy-like dry down, while others find the opening uncomfortably sharp with cleaning solution-like qualities.

- Good performance and longevity
- Transitions to pleasant lemonhead candy in dry down

- Difficult to find in retail; limited availability
- Not suitable for all preferences despite fresh profile
