Orange Blossom
Orange Blossom is one of perfumery’s most radiant and uplifting notes, capturing the delicate fragrance of the white flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). Its scent is both floral and fruity — sweet, honeyed, and subtly green — evoking sunlight, freshness, and timeless sophistication.
Unlike its close relative Neroli, which is distilled for a fresher, more citrusy tone, Orange Blossom absolute is extracted through solvent methods, giving it a deeper, warmer, and more sensual aroma. It carries gentle hints of jasmine, honey, and powder, making it a versatile heart note in countless floral and oriental compositions.
Perfumers use Orange Blossom to bring brightness and balance. It harmonises beautifully with rose, jasmine, and tuberose, enhancing their softness and depth. When paired with musk, vanilla, or amber, it reveals a smooth, romantic warmth, while combinations with citrus or green notes highlight its sparkling freshness.
Emotionally, Orange Blossom evokes serenity and joy — the scent of spring air, blooming gardens, and Mediterranean sunshine. It symbolises innocence and confidence at once, blending purity with quiet sensuality.
In modern perfumery, Orange Blossom remains a timeless favourite. Its glowing, multifaceted character bridges freshness and warmth, creating an aura that feels effortlessly elegant — a floral note that captures light itself in scent form.
