PERSIAN LIME

Persian lime offers a fresh, juicy citrus impression with pronounced zest, a touch of herbs and sweetness behind the brighter edge. IFF describes these facets in its cold-pressed Persian lime oil from Mexico. In a fragrance, the note can give a fruit accord the feel of newly exposed peel or introduce a citrus accent among green and floral notes. Its exact balance depends on the material and the composition.

Persian lime is Citrus latifolia, also known as Tahiti lime. The name identifies a citrus type, not a guarantee that the ingredient was grown in Iran or Tahiti. Peel oil can be obtained by cold pressing, and suppliers may further process individual grades. This differs from saying every Persian lime note uses the same oil: the fragrance listing describes the intended scent, while the formula and sourcing require separate information.
