What is Orange?
Orange is a vibrant citrus fruit grown in warm, sun-rich regions such as Spain, Italy and Brazil. Known for its juicy sweetness and refreshing taste, it has long been associated with vitality, warmth and natural energy. The peel of the fruit is especially valued for its aromatic intensity, holding the highest concentration of its signature bright, uplifting scent.
Orange essential oil is cold-pressed from this peel, capturing its fresh, citrus aroma in a concentrated form. Naturally rich in limonene, it is widely used in aromatherapy for its uplifting and gently energising properties. The scent helps to refresh the senses, encourage a positive mindset and bring a sense of lightness to both body and mind.
Within blends, Orange essential oil is often used to balance deeper or more grounding notes, adding brightness and clarity to the overall aromatic experience while supporting emotional wellbeing.
