Rating: This lime is top notch! Smells just like you think it should and is even a rich green color. I use a lot of lime essential oils because its my favorite and my customers love my "margarita" blend. I reccomend!

Rating: I couldn't help but to say out loud when I opened this one, "Wow, that smells really good!" The perfect fresh lime peel smell you would want. Zesty, intense, and balanced. I can't wait to make a new scent blend. I have been making CP soaps for 10 years and can get overwhelmed by essential oils, but this is very pleasant. I look forward to getting a bigger one :)
Rating: Oh my! Smells just like fresh squeezed lime! Divine!
By:Stephanie, Blue Springs, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Dec-2018
Rating: This could be my favorite essential oil now. It smells bright and fresh but isn't biting. Blends great with spearmint and coconut! Lime isn't inexpensive but NDA delivers on quality and cost. As always, thank you!

Rating: This Paticular Lime EO is fantastic all of my clients love it and I do too.!!! it is somewhat deeper and richer than others I have tested and it really feels uplifting! Super nice and the price is great too! Thanx people at NDA!
Rating: Lime EO is my absolute favorite of all EOs , and this variety is amazingly. I've tried almost every variety and a lot of brands. I prefer cold pressed lime (IMO the scent is more authentic) and tends to be more tart. I love that. I live in Florida and have a couple different lime trees, this one smells the closest actually better then fresh lime zest. Thanks NDA
By:Heidi, Satellite Beach, Florida Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Feb-2015
Rating: Before my order arrived today, I was just sniffing this lime essential oil I received from another supplier and comparing that with a fresh lime I just sliced and the EO just doesn't smell like fresh lime, it smells like lime, but just it's too sweet...Then my order from NDA arrives and I of course have to do a sniff test, Wow! This smells just like fresh lime rind, tart & bitter with a slight sweetness. I love it!
By:Lisa, Pellston, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-May-2008
Rating: True to it's name this smells like freshly cut limes. Great in my all purpose house cleaner
By:Sarah, Temecula, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 27-Sep-2013
Rating: LOVE IT! I have tried other brands and this is the one I will continue to buy. Good Job as always ND!
By:Ginger, Puyallup, Washington Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 07-Feb-2014
Rating: Absolutely amazing. I used this essential oil paired with Lime Lab Color for my daughter's soap and she loved it. Everyone was able to admire the smell, as it filled the entire room (in a very non invasive, pleasant way).

Rating: This lime is very sweet and almost candy scented. Exactly how i think it should be, use it in a blend with sweet basil and lavender. It works wonderfully; I am interested in trying the key lime variety.
By:William, Naperville, Illinois Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Dec-2012
Rating: I love this lime e.o. Don't hesitate to buy. Thank you!

By:Tiffany, Morrisville, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Dec-2012
Rating: Lime is one of my absolute favorite oils to use in my soaps. It seems to blend will with almost everything. Grapefruit and lime has become my new favorite scent.
By:Cynthia, Oneida, Kentucky Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Oct-2012
Rating: Oh gosh, I love lime oil!!! My customers think it smells like delicious lime candy when used as the star in my blend, or when it is mixed with bay rum. Lime oil has this invigorating scent that makes you feel refreshed and ready to start your day. Definitely a staple.
By:Kelly, North Babylon, New York Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 21-Jan-2012
Rating: Mouth-watering! A fresh, tart lime in a bottle. Perfect, strong scent for toners, scrubs and antibacterial soaps. Mixed with a spicy or woody scent would make this an awesome deodorizing body spritzer.
By:Tanya, Lacey, Washington Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Jan-2012
Rating: I love this one! It's VERY strong, though, and when I mixed 1 drop in with a combination of about 30 drops of other EOs, this one overpowered the rest BY FAR! So I'd recommend diluting it if you don't want your product to smell too limey. The scent is very different from lemon or orange or grapefruit. I find it much stronger, sharper, and more masculine.
By:Lauretta, San Diego, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Jun-2010
Rating: Very nice, crisp, strong lime scent. Perfect, and a great price to boot!
By:Brandy, Davenport, Iowa Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Feb-2010
Rating: I purchased the 500ml size which is so affordable, considering the quality. I am so glad I did. Added it to lip balm for an intoxicating effect. Also made cp soap with it. Can't get enough of the scent!!
By:Farkhanda, Oakville, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: smells like a lime lolli pop. Hold up in cp soap but had to use a little more than I normally would.
By:Derek, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 01-Jul-2011

By:Kristina, Hamilton, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: the smell of fresh lime is one of my favorites, but this is just heavenly! Has a mild sweet smell to it that's similar to a breath of fresh air! The best lime e/o I've tried! Can't say enough! Going to try the keylime next.
By:Garrett, Cedar City, Utah Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 14-Apr-2010

Rating: Nice sweet citrus scent. Smells true.
By:Kristie, Portsmouth, New Hampshire Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 18-Nov-2009
Rating: Definitely a must have in every house. It is an excellent antiseptic oil and therefore I use it in my all shower gels, shampoos and every liquid cleaning products. Also it has a very pleasant citrus smell when used in aromatherapy and it blends well with almost every EO. It is well known to clarify and renew your spirit (I like lime better than lemon). I almost use it every day. Highly recommended.
Thank you ND for having this precious oil.
By:Silvia, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This oil smells like candy! I want to eat it!! I love the smell, although it isn't what I expected. I love mixing it with other citrus and putting it into the bathroom.

Rating: A zesty, affordable detoxifier, this lime oil just added a ton of zing! to my cold processed avocado butter soap.
By:Tracey, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: 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!
By:Bret, South Jordan, Utah
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 18-May-2006
Rating: 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".
Rating: FANTASTIC!! Smells like a fresh picked lime from your backyard. Truly wonderful!!!!
By:Kathryn, Issaquah, Washington
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 30-Jan-2007
Rating: 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.
By:Joycelyn, Brampton, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Lime sherbert, anyone? I kid you not, that's exactly what it smells like! A nice, natural lime scent that leaves you wanting to sniff for more!
By:Lisanne, St. Catharines, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Oh how the kids have waited for this oil! As I write this reveiw my mouth is watering and I have a smile on my face - LOVELY EO - thanks ND!
By:Joely, Topeka, Kansas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Nov-2006
Rating: Very clean and strong aroma. A great additon to many blends of essential oil and pricing is good.
By:Trudy, Warkworth, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: 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
By:Kelli, Point Du Chene, New Brunswick Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: When I don't want to use lemon I love using this oil. THe scent is fresh and clean. No bitterness at all. Very good therapeutic qualities.
By:Jennifer, Ottawa, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: 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!
