Truefitt & Hill's introduction to citrus fragrances dates back to the 1870s and swiftly captured the favor of Queen Victoria and the esteemed members of her Court. The Imperial Bouquet, specially crafted by Truefitt’s perfumers in 1876 to commemorate Queen Victoria’s ascension as Empress of India, featured lively and exotic top notes of citrus and orange blossom within a floral fougère composition. This fragrance laid the groundwork for the evolution of the beloved West Indian Limes scent we know today. In 1989, Truefitt’s successfully reorchestrated this enchanting fragrance, solidifying its status as one of their most beloved classic scents. Its enduring popularity among British Royalty persists to this day.
