Kaffir Lime Essential Oil
Product Description
With its deeply textured, bumpy peel and unmistakably vibrant fragrance, kaffir lime is one of Southeast Asia’s most distinctive citrus fruits.
Although its green, textured appearance may resemble Bergamot at first glance, kaffir lime is an entirely different citrus species with a distinctly different aromatic profile. Bergamot is known for its soft, elegant citrus fragrance with subtle floral sweetness and tea-like nuances, while kaffir lime is much sharper and greener, with an intensely zesty character and a slightly bitter edge.
areme’s kaffir lime essential oil is steam-distilled from the fruit peel, sourced from the Bảy Núi region of An Giang Province in southern Vietnam. Its fragrance opens with a vivid burst of fresh lime, followed by crisp green notes and a distinctive herbal sharpness. Bold and refreshing, it has a lively citrus intensity that sets it apart from sweeter, more familiar citrus oils.
In an essential oil diffuser, kaffir lime brings a crisp, invigorating freshness to living spaces and work areas. Its distinctive green-citrus character also makes it an interesting ingredient for natural fragrance blends, particularly when paired with woody, herbal, or floral notes.
For those who enjoy citrus fragrances with a sharper, greener character rather than the soft sweetness of bergamot, kaffir lime offers a distinctly different aromatic experience.
