Pure Essential Oil | Citrus limetta

Sweet Lime Essential Oil is a cold-pressed essential oil obtained from the peel of Citrus limetta, used to provide gentle citrus freshness with a softer, rounder profile than lemon or lime. It adds brightness without sharpness, making it well suited to smooth citrus, floral, and aromatic compositions.

Sweet Lime Essential Oil presents a soft citrus profile with light sweetness, subtle green facets, and a mild, slightly floral undertone. Compared to sharp lime or lemon, it feels smoother and more diffused, offering freshness that blends easily rather than cutting through a composition.

Sweet Lime functions primarily as a top note, contributing brightness and balance.

Recommended concentration: 0.5–5%

Particularly effective in:
Soft citrus and cologne-style compositions
Floral-citrus and aromatic blends

Blends well with:
Other citrus oils (bergamot, mandarin, lemon)
Florals (neroli, rose, jasmine)
Aromatics (lavender, basil)
Light woods and musks

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including soaps, candles, room sprays, and home fragrance

It provides a rounded citrus lift without bitterness or sharp acidity.
