Photo Black Lime :: fragrance ingredients

Black Lime, also known as Loomi or Dried Lime, is derived from limes that have been dried in the sun. It is used in perfumery to impart a unique, tangy, and slightly smoky aroma with a hint of sweetness. The scent of Black Lime is distinctive and adds a rich, exotic character to fragrances. It has a history of use in Middle Eastern cuisine and has been incorporated into perfumes for its aromatic complexity and ability to blend well with both citrus and spicy notes.

Natural or Synthetic?
Black Lime is typically used in its natural form as an essential oil or extract. The oil is extracted through steam distillation or solvent extraction of the dried limes. This method preserves the complex and unique aromatic profile of Black Lime, making it a valuable ingredient in perfumery.
