Kaffir Lime Essential Oil—also known in Vietnam as Trái Chúc or Chanh Sần—is steam-distilled from the peel and leaves of the tree. It opens with a bold, vibrant, very green citrus aroma, carrying the signature brightness of the Citrus family with a cool, spicy edge.

Rich in citronellal, limonene, and β-pinene, this oil offers notable deodorizing, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It’s commonly diffused to refresh indoor air or added to personal-care formulas—such as soaps and shampoos—to enhance cleansing performance.

Blending

The scent profile is luminous, tart, and distinctly green—evocative of bumpy-skinned lime fruit and its leaves. With strong diffusion, it excels as a top note. Blending with other citrus materials amplifies sparkle and lifts the composition, while pairing with white florals like jasmine or neroli can soften its intensity. Use at low dosages, as the character is very potent.

Aromatherapy

Research indicates the major constituents in kaffir lime oil may inhibit certain bacteria and fungi. As such, it’s often used to help purify air, support anti-inflammatory aims, and bolster skin-cleansing cosmetic products. In aromatherapy, its bright freshness is associated with easing stress and fatigue. It’s also valued in hair care for promoting scalp cleanliness, reducing dandruff, and encouraging the appearance of healthy hair growth.

The listed prices do not include the 8% VAT.

Does Scent have a store where I can try the products?

You can visit Scent's showroom in Ho Chi Minh City to explore fragrances and experience the products firsthand.

However, with the aim of becoming an online provider of fragrance products in Vietnam and Southeast Asia, Scent does not open additional branches. This approach helps optimize costs and allows us to offer you high-quality products at the best prices in the market.

Can essential oils be applied directly to the skin?

Many essential oils need to be diluted before being applied to the skin; otherwise, their high concentration may cause irritation.

Can pregnant women use essential oils?

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare professional before using essential oils, as they can affect hormones and the impact on the baby during development is not well understood.

What is the difference between natural essential oils and synthetic fragrances?

Essential oils are extracted from parts of plants, are entirely natural, and have therapeutic properties. In contrast, synthetic fragrances are created in a lab and contain artificial components.

How can I ensure that the essential oil is pure?

Scent.vn works directly with reputable global partners, inspecting their facilities and sourcing regions to ensure authenticity. We also conduct GCMS tests on each product to verify its components and quality.

How should essential oils be stored after purchase?

You should store essential oils in aluminum or dark glass bottles, away from sunlight, and at a temperature between 0 to 20℃.

Can I become a distributor of essential oils?

Scent.vn focuses on direct sales to maintain quality control and therefore does not offer a distributor program for this product line. However, you can purchase essential oils in bulk from Scent.vn and sell them under your own brand.
