Like some of the other fruity scents, the orange essential can be derived from the fruit, the blossom, or a combination of both. A pure blossom essential is often recognized by the name neroli. More often the fragrant oil known as orange is produced from the aromatic skin of the fruit. Like its citrus family relatives, the lemon and the lime, orange oil is employed in a great variety of ways, from the kitchen to the cosmetic to the therapeutic and magical.
