From vodka gimlets to margaritas, limes add a zesty flavor to any number of beverages. This summer, the popular fruit is also adding its tangy touch to fragrances old and new. Despite what its name might suggest, Lime Zucchero by Arrogance Mix ($35; sephora.com) is a light, refreshing scent that combines the citrusy treat with sugar, hazelnut, anise, rose, and musk. Perfect for a quick spritz post-beach or -workout, this inexpensive addition to the Italian line softly perfumes the skin without giving the impression that you got drenched in lime daiquiris during happy hour. To enhance the staying power of the eau de toilette, try layering the fragrance with the corresponding Body Lotion ($18) or Shower Gel ($15). Or, if you prefer your citrus a little less sweet, look no further than Jo Malone's legendary Lime, Basil & Mandarin Cologne ($50; jomalone.com). Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary this year, the unisex aroma opens with a sunny burst of lime and mandarin, then quickly reveals its herbal heart, leaving a tart, peppery trail of aromatic green basil and white thyme on the skin. --Marlen Harrison
