Orange blossom is a fragrant ingredient that is obtained from the bitter orange tree, Citrus Aurantium var Amara, which is grown for flower production in Tunisia, Morocco, and Egypt. The orange blossom is a complex ingredient with a complex scent that can be interpreted within a large palette of notes. Orange blossom can be extracted from the leaves and flowers of the bitter orange tree, and different extraction methods can produce different extracts, such as neroli oil and orange blossom absolute. Orange blossom absolute has a warmer, honeyed, and headier scent, while neroli oil has a more pure and innocent scent with citrusy and light facets. Orange blossom natural extracts are expensive, so perfumers often reproduce the smell of the flower from a blend of natural and synthetic perfumery raw materials.
Orange blossom is used in various products, such as deodorant spray, hand soap, and olive oil soap. The ingredients or materials used in these products may vary, but they often use natural and safer ingredients. For example, the orange blossom vanilla deodorant spray by EO Products blends bright notes of orange, clementine, and lemon with sweet ylang-ylang and lavandin, and it combines cozy vanilla and cedarwood with bitter orange and petitgrain. The hypoallergenic hand soap by ECOS uses safer, naturally-derived ingredients, such as vitamin E, plant-derived cleaners, and natural fragrances. The orange blossom soap by Le Joyau dOlive is made of 4 natural ingredients only, which are virgin olive oil, water, caustic soda, and orange blossom water.
In summary, orange blossom is a fragrant ingredient that is obtained from the bitter orange tree and has a complex scent that can be interpreted within a large palette of notes. It is used in various products, and the ingredients or materials used in these products often use natural and safer ingredients.
