Having sourced lime essential oil from various suppliers, this is by far my favorite lime--outstanding quality every time, nice green color, and a very true lime aroma. Excellent!

I was expecting "citrus" and got more of a "candy lime" scent. It's not a bad one, but it's certainly not what I was expecting. The kids love it because it smells just like green lime hard candy. Nice, but not "grown up".

I mix this oil in a spray bottle with patchouli, tee tree, and of course water. I use it as a cleaner for my kitchen, bathroom, etc. I also spray my plants with the mixture and they love it too! So much better than any "air freshener" out there.

A sharp fresh scent exactly like a newly squeezed lime. A wonderful EO that is terrific on it's own or blended with other EO's such as patchouli or ginger or any other citrus EO

I use this oil in many of my blends as it has all the properties of Lemon Oil but is more suitable for use with children. This oil is probably phototoxic. Use for abscesses, acne, asthma, boils, bronchitis, colds, cuts, fever, infections, insect bites, mouth ulcers, nosebleeds, spots, throat infections, warts. Just what I expected, lovely scent and excellent price!
