About

Tangerine Blossom exudes a soft, luminous floral aroma with gentle citrus undertones, reminiscent of freshly opened tangerine flowers. Its scent is delicate and slightly sweet, with a green, airy freshness that distinguishes it from the deeper richness of orange blossom. In perfumery, it imparts a bright, ethereal quality to floral and citrus compositions.

Scent Profile

Tangerine blossom smells like a delicate white floral, soft white petals with a hint of juicy tangerine zest. A grape-like, fruity sweetness runs through it, the same sweetness mandarin peel carries. Underneath is a slightly waxy, oily florality typical of every citrus blossom. The whole thing stays airy and luminous, with a gentle sweetness and a touch of green freshness, never becoming heavy or indolic.

How the layers join

Origin

Tangerine Blossom is derived from the flowers of the Citrus reticulata tree, native to East Asia and widely cultivated in Mediterranean and subtropical regions. The blossoms are typically harvested by hand during their brief blooming period and their fragrance is captured through solvent extraction or headspace technology, as they yield little essential oil via traditional distillation.

Usage in Perfumery

Perfumers use Tangerine Blossom primarily as a heart note to introduce a soft, radiant floralcy with a citrus twist. It blends well with other white florals, citrus notes, and light musks, enhancing the freshness and luminosity of compositions. Its ethereal character makes it suitable for modern floral, citrus, and green fragrance structures.
