Lime

Lime brings an intensely bright, sharp, and refreshing citrus quality to perfumery that feels even more vibrant and energizing than lemon. The essential oil from lime peel has a distinctively tart, slightly bitter character with green, almost candy-like facets that make it feel younger and more playful than other citrus notes.

There is something inherently tropical and festive about lime. In fragrance, lime adds an electric freshness to openings that wakes up the senses and creates an immediate impression of vitality.

Lime pairs wonderfully with ginger for an energizing zing, with mint for a mojito-inspired coolness, with coconut for a tropical cocktail feel, with vetiver for a sophisticated contrast, and with aromatic herbs for a fresh, clean character. You will find lime in many summer fragrances and in compositions inspired by tropical cocktails and Mediterranean shores.
