LEMON CAVIAR

Lemon Caviar, also known as finger lime, is a vibrant and texturally unique fragrance note that captures the zesty brightness of citrus with an unexpected twist. Derived from the pulp of the finger lime fruit—tiny, translucent pearls bursting with tart juice—this note delivers an effervescent citrus aroma that’s sharper and more refined than traditional lemon. It opens with a sparkling freshness, layered with subtle green undertones and a whisper of spice, evoking the sensation of citrus bubbles popping on the skin. Used primarily as a top note, Lemon Caviar imparts an energetic, modern freshness that enhances both crisp florals and aquatic or woody accords.

History & Production: Native to Australia, finger lime has become a prized ingredient in both gastronomy and high-end perfumery for its unusual texture and intense aroma. Since direct extraction yields limited olfactory impact, Lemon Caviar is typically reimagined in perfumery using a blend of natural citrus oils—like lemon, lime, and grapefruit—along with aldehydes and other brightening molecules to replicate its effervescent tartness. The result is a dazzling, contemporary citrus note that brings brightness, clarity, and a subtle edge to compositions, perfect for crafting fragrances that feel refined, juicy, and full of life.
