Lime (Persian)

Persian lime is a bright and zesty fragrance note with a fresh, tangy, and slightly sweet aroma that evokes the lively scent of citrus groves. Its scent profile is crisp and invigorating, offering a vibrant and uplifting quality that enhances the freshness of perfumes.

History & Production: The Persian lime (Citrus latifolia), also known as Tahiti lime, is a hybrid citrus fruit cultivated primarily in tropical and subtropical regions, including Mexico and parts of the Middle East. The essential oil is typically extracted from the peel through cold pressing, preserving its natural, sharp aroma. Persian lime has become popular in perfumery for its ability to add a distinctive, zesty freshness that complements both light and complex fragrance compositions. Its bright, citrusy character continues to be a valued element in creating perfumes that feel refreshing and modern.
