Description
Expressed Key Lime oils tend to produce a darker oil with sweeter notes and faint lime nuances, whereas steam distilled Lime oil is a more typical citrus, fruity, fresh aroma. Perfumers tend to prefer this sweeter expressed lime oil to make refreshing blends that go well with lavender, rosemary, neroli, and other citrus oils.
