The bitter orange tree's exquisite white blossoms, which have a beautiful orange fragrance, are used in the production of perfume ingredients such as neroli and orange blossom.
Orange blossom, with its distinct citrusy freshness, is commonly found in the top notes of chypre and floral oriental fragrances. Explore a variety of perfumes with a robust orange blossom scent in the list below.
But first, let's delve into the essential oils derived from bitter orange blossoms.
Essential Oil of Neroli
Extracted through steam distillation of the white blossoms from the bitter orange tree, neroli essential oil has a strong orange fragrance. It's a premium ingredient due to the large number of petals required to produce a small amount of oil. Neroli boasts a honey-sweet floral fragrance with a touch of citrus, extending the life of other scents it's combined with due to its fixative properties.
Aromatherapy Oil of Orange Blossoms
Orange blossom oil, with a sweeter, citrusy scent, is produced through solvent extraction of the fresh flowers. This oil evokes the authentic aroma experienced when orange blossoms bloom on the trees.
Recommendations: Neroli and Orange Blossom Scents to Try
I highly recommend trying perfumes with notes of neroli or orange blossom.
Galilee
Galilee has a citrusy yet predominantly musky aroma, accentuated by notes of sweet pepper, orange blossom, and iris, resulting in a complex, spicy, and slightly woodsy scent. It takes you on a journey from a sweet citrusy start to a green, woodsy end, providing a straightforward yet potent fragrance experience.
Fearless Love
Fearless Love entices with a delicate orange blossom absolute fragrance from the outset. The scent builds upon a marshmallow sugar accord, substituting marshmallow with honeysuckle and velvety rose. It finishes with a sensuous undertone of warm amber, suggesting the depth of understanding another person's emotions.
Melipona
Melipona greets you with the calming scent of berries, leading to an immersive experience through rose-pink pepper scented botanical gardens, complemented by the fragrances of orange blossom and fresh iris. The journey culminates in a blend of jasmine, smooth vanilla orchids, and a subtle chocolate note, creating a breathtaking aroma that captivates your senses.
Rame Rosso
Rame Rosso unfolds with a spicy and white floral melody characterized by tuberose, clary sage, and pink pepper. The composition transitions to a heart of orange blossom and jasmine sambac, complemented by subtle ylang-ylang and benzoin notes. Anchored by a warm amber base with woody undertones, the fragrance presents a sensual and euphoric experience, reminiscent of a summer's embrace.
