About lime blossom
Lime Blossom, often referred to as linden blossom, is a cherished note in perfumery, celebrated for its delicate, sweet, and somewhat floral scent with a hint of freshness. This note is derived from the small, fragrant flowers of the lime (linden) tree, which is found in various parts of the world, including Europe and North America. In perfumery, lime blossom adds a light, airy quality to fragrances, often used to impart a subtle floral sweetness that evokes a sense of summer serenity. Its ability to blend harmoniously with a variety of other notes makes it a versatile middle note in the creation of perfumes.
