Perfumers' Tip

Herbalime is particularly useful for adding a fresh lime-pine lift with an aromatic herbal character. Combine it with Bergamot, Lemon and Lime Oil for a bright citrus accord, or pair it with Lavender, Rosemary and Juniper Berry for a crisp aromatic composition.

For a fresh green fragrance, try Herbalime + Bergamot + Lavender + Juniper Berry + Iso E Super. Pine and Fir Balsam can emphasize its coniferous side, while Vetiver and Cedarwood can provide a dry woody foundation.

Herbalime has a recognizable fresh pine-lime character, so start at low to moderate levels and evaluate the fragrance through the drydown before increasing the dosage. IFF reports high top-note impact, medium heart impact and substantivity of more than 6 hours.
