Lime (Mexico)

Lime from Mexico is a bright and citrusy fragrance note with a sharp, zesty scent profile that carries subtle green and slightly sweet undertones. Its aroma is fresh, vibrant, and uplifting, adding an energizing and refreshing quality to perfumes. Mexican lime imparts a sparkling, juicy character and is often used as a top note to create a lively and crisp opening. It pairs beautifully with floral, green, and woody notes, contributing to fragrances that are modern, invigorating, and full of zest.

History & Production: Mexican lime (Citrus aurantiifolia) is widely cultivated in Mexico, where the warm climate enhances its intense aroma. The essential oil is extracted from the peel through cold pressing, capturing its pure, tangy essence. In perfumery, Mexican lime is valued for its ability to add a natural, citrusy brightness that enhances the freshness and clarity of fragrances, evoking a sense of energy and tropical vibrancy.
