Our Blood Orange essential oil has a sweet, fresh, vibrant, fruity-aldehydic aroma characteristic of orange with a light, mouthwatering tartness that is richer in aroma than Sweet Orange and may be used in similar fashion. Blood Oranges get their distinctive dark flesh color from the presence of anthocyanins, antioxidant pigments common to many flowers and fruit, but rare in citrus fruits. Anthocyanins, however, are odorless and water-soluble, therefore they do not appear in the essential oil.
Considering that most citrus peel essential oils contain very high percentages of limonene (up to 95%), one would expect them to have more similar aromas. The fact that Orange, Lemon, Lime and Grapefruit essential oils smell differently due to constituents amounting to less than five percent of the overall oil is fairly comprehensible. The fact that Orange oils of the same
species can differ aromatically based on percentages of less than one percent is pretty remarkable.
We recommend using this essential oil with appropriate restraint, as the aroma of Blood Orange is so convincing, you may feel yourself suddenly transported to southern Italy without ever leaving your chair! The uplifting aroma awakens the senses and makes for a familiar favorite in diffusers, massage blends, leg and foot lotions, belly rubs, nighttime sprays, skincare preparations, and cleansers. It is a lovely fruity, tart top note in perfumery creations. Happy
