Women's Lime Fragrances

Lime gives a fragrance a brisk, tart citrus opening, with the vivid effect of freshly cut peel and juice. Its character is brighter and sharper than sweet orange, with a lightly bitter, green edge that keeps citrus accords from feeling heavy. As a volatile top note, lime is usually most noticeable in the first stage of wear, making an immediate contribution to freshness and lift.

In perfume formulas, lime pairs naturally with other citrus notes, aromatic herbs, green materials, light florals, woods and clean musks. It can sharpen a crisp cologne style, add contrast to tropical or fruity accords, or cut through richer compositions with acidity. Depending on the surrounding notes, it may read as zesty and sparkling, dry and green, or softer and more rounded. Browse these women's fragrances if you want lime to lead the opening or add a clear citrus accent.
