ORANGE ESSENTIAL OIL - Australia
Orange Essential Oil
Sweet · Juicy · Bright
Citrus sinensis
Cold pressed from the aromatic peel of oranges grown on Meru Country, Australia, Orange Essential Oil captures one of nature’s most immediately recognisable fragrances, the burst of scent released as fresh orange peel is cut or twisted.
Its aroma is juicy and softly sweet, balanced by a gentle citrus tang that keeps it fresh rather than overly sugary.
As a classic top note, Orange brings warmth, brightness and generosity to botanical perfume. It softens spice, lifts woods and resins, and brings a beautiful rounded sweetness to florals and aromatic herbs.
A botanical of ripe fruit, fragrant peel and Australian sunshine.

Botanical Notes
Sweet Orange — Citrus sinensis
Sweet Orange belongs to the Rutaceae family, alongside Lemon, Lime, Mandarin, Bergamot and Bitter Orange.
The essential oil is concentrated within aromatic glands in the fruit’s outer peel. Cold pressing releases these volatile oils, capturing the vivid fragrance associated with freshly peeled oranges.
Compared with the crisp tartness of Lemon and green sharpness of Lime, Orange is rounder, sweeter and softer. Compared with Mandarin, it has a fuller, more familiar juicy-orange character.
