About key lime pie
Key Lime Pie as a fragrance note captures the tantalizing blend of tart key lime zest, sweet meringue, and a buttery graham cracker crust. This note offers a unique olfactory experience that balances citrus freshness with gourmand warmth, making it a delightful addition to both summer scents and comforting winter fragrances. Its complexity lies in its ability to evoke warmth and nostalgia while maintaining a vibrant, uplifting edge. In perfumery, Key Lime Pie is used to add a playful, mouthwatering dimension to compositions, often serving as a bridge between citrus top notes and deeper, creamy base notes. Its versatility allows it to enhance the brightness of floral and fruit accords while grounding sweeter, more indulgent fragrances with its nuanced profile.

Perfumer's Tips
When incorporating Key Lime Pie into a fragrance composition, start with small quantities to avoid overwhelming the blend. It pairs exceptionally well with vanilla or coconut to enhance its creamy aspect, or with sharper citrus notes to amplify its zestiness. Consider using it as a surprising twist in floral or aquatic fragrances to add depth and interest.
