Blood Orange Essential Oil

Blood Orange presents a rich citrus profile that balances sweet orange brightness with gentle bitterness and soft fruity depth. Compared to standard sweet orange, it feels rounder and more complex, with a faintly raspberry-like nuance and a warmer, duskier tone. The result is cheerful yet refined.

Blood Orange functions primarily as a top note, delivering immediate freshness and appeal.

Recommended concentration: 1–6%

Blends beautifully with:
Other citrus oils (bergamot, lemon, mandarin)
Florals (ylang ylang, jasmine, neroli)
Spices (cinnamon, clove)
Woods (cedarwood, sandalwood)

Particularly well suited to non-perfumery applications including soaps, candles, cleaning products, bath & body formulations, and home fragrance

It is widely used in colognes, gourmand compositions, and uplifting everyday scents.
