USE

Aromatherapy properties:

• provides energy and joy;
• lime has energetically "cleansing" properties, provides a sense of emotional comfort, therefore it is very popular for diffusing in rooms;
• when used in massage blends, it helps create a peaceful atmosphere.

Perfumery properties:

• lime scent is very fresh, light, sour-sharp, as characteristic of this fruit. Unlike lemon, lime scent is greener, less sweet;
• blends perfectly with other citrus oils - lemon, orange or grapefruit essential oils;
• in perfumes, it is mostly used as a top note that can fantastically stimulate and awaken the sense of smell from the very first inhalation, providing freshness to sweet perfumes;
• although the lime note fades quite quickly (like most top notes), it leaves an indelible impression and a feeling of elation from the very first breath.
