West Indian Limes

Since Christopher Columbus discovered the West Indies, people have taken great delight in the exotic plants and fruits found there. Truefitt's first citrus fragrances were originally formulated in 1870s and quickly became a favourite of Queen Victoria. The Imperial Bouquet, especially blended for Queen Victoria by Truefitts' perfumers in 1876 to celebrate her crowning as Empress of India, was in fact a floral fougere from which the present day West Indian Limes fragrance evolved.
