Origin

Sweet orange oil is primarily obtained from the rind of Citrus sinensis fruits through cold pressing. Major sources include orchards in Brazil, the United States, and the Mediterranean region, where oranges are cultivated on a large scale.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use sweet orange mainly as a top note to impart freshness and lift to compositions. It blends well with other citrus oils, florals, spices, and light woods, and is often found in colognes, summer fragrances, and as an accent in gourmand blends.
