Orange
The scent of Orange, specifically the sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), is predominantly characterized by a bright, effervescent, and intensely zesty aroma derived from the cold-pressed oil of the fruit's peel. It presents a sharp, almost sparkling initial burst, quickly followed by a juicy, sweet, and slightly tangy pulp-like nuance. There's often a subtle underlying bitterness or greenness, particularly in less refined extracts or when petitgrain (from the leaves and twigs) is present. Its texture feels vibrant and uplifting. As a fragrance note, it is typically high in intensity upon application but possesses poor longevity and projection, behaving almost exclusively as a top note. It provides an immediate, invigorating lift to a composition before rapidly dissipating, leaving behind only faint traces or blending seamlessly into the heart notes.
