Lime
Lime is a vibrant and zesty citrus note known for its sharp, tangy, and slightly sweet aroma. It brings a burst of freshness and energy to perfumes, making it a popular choice for top notes in both feminine and masculine fragrances. The bright, lively scent of lime adds an invigorating and clean quality that enlivens fragrance compositions. It pairs well with other citrus fruits, herbs, and florals, creating refreshing and modern compositions that exude a sense of vitality and brightness.
History & Production: Lime, derived from Citrus aurantiifolia, has its origins in Southeast Asia and spread through trade to various parts of the world, including the Mediterranean and the Americas. The essential oil is typically extracted through cold-pressing the peel of the fruit, preserving its intense, fresh aroma. Lime has been valued for centuries not only for its culinary and medicinal uses but also for its role in perfumery. Its crisp, zesty scent has become an integral ingredient in fragrances that aim to capture the essence of sunny, tropical, and uplifting environments.
