Bitter Orange

Bitter orange is a citrus fruit with a sharp, tangy aroma. It is derived from the Seville orange tree, which is native to Southeast Asia. The peel of the bitter orange is prized for its intense, bittersweet scent that is often used in perfumes, liqueurs, and marmalades.

Bitter orange has an invigorating, uplifting scent that can help boost mood and energy levels. It is often used in fragrances for daytime wear, as its bright, citrusy notes are refreshing and can help you feel more alert and focused. Bitter orange is a versatile note that works well in both casual and more formal settings.

Bitter orange is commonly used as a top note in fragrances, providing an initial burst of citrusy freshness. It pairs well with floral, woody, and spicy notes, and is often found in colognes, eau de toilettes, and citrus-based perfumes. Bitter orange is an important ingredient in many classic and contemporary perfume compositions.
