Lime is a small, round green citrus fruit known for its tart and zesty flavor. A member of the Citrus family, it has a bright green, smooth, thin skin and its flesh is juicy and acidic. When it comes to its scent profile, lime is distinctly refreshing, sharp, and invigorating. It carries a clean and crisp aroma with a hint of sweetness, which is less intense than that of a lemon. Limes are often characterized by their vibrant, citrusy notes that can vary slightly between varieties, such as the common Persian lime and the smaller, more aromatic Key lime. This aroma makes lime a popular choice in perfumery and culinary uses where it imparts a burst of freshness. Lime's scent is also associated with cleanliness and is commonly used in household products and air fresheners, providing a bright, uplifting fragrance that enhances the sensory experience.
