Why brands choose it

• Sharper and greener than orange or mandarin, so it stands out in a citrus line-up.
• Gives bath and shower products a clean, awake feel that shoppers link with the fruit.
• Works well in diffuser and room-spray blends where a crisp lift matters.

How it is used

Add it in small amounts to a soap base, wax or carrier oil. Trial the blend in your own formula first, since citrus top notes fade faster than resins or woods.

Make it yours

Try it with peppermint, eucalyptus or ylang ylang, or build a cocktail-style room spray where lime leads and cedar or vetiver sits underneath.
