How does lime oil compare with the other citrus oils?

Lime is greener, sharper and more bitter-rind than lemon, far more acidic-fresh than sweet orange, and lacks bergamot's floral-ester softness. Distilled lime is milder.

Positioning

Oil	Character
Lemon	Sharp, aldehydic, acidic-fresh
Lime	Greener, sharper, bitter-rind
Sweet orange	Round, juicy, sweet
Tangerine / mandarin	Soft, sweet, low bitterness
Bergamot	Floral-ester, lavender-tinted
Grapefruit	Bitter-fresh, sulphurous nuance

G4S can ship matched sets of the citrus range so your perfumer can compare the current lots side by side.
