Although it looks like a small green lemon, the sweet lime should not be confused with the lime. This powerful raw material is the fruit of the tree, which is grown in Mexico, Peru and Brazil. Sweet lime is the only citrus fruit whose essential oil is obtained by distillation of the fruit, not by cold expression of the peel. Its essence reveals floral nuances with accents of lime, reminiscent of certain cocktails like the mojito. It is a very tonic and vivid scent that evokes sparkling cola and sour candy. A very powerful note, the fruit refreshes compositions and is generally used to bring exoticism to fragrances.
