• 100% pure cold-pressed citrus oil
• Bright, aromatic, and beautifully complex
• Ideal for perfumery, diffusion & skincare blends

Bitter Orange Essential Oil is a vibrant, aromatic citrus oil cold-pressed from the peel of the Citrus aurantium fruit. More sophisticated than sweet orange and more structured than mandarin, it offers a bright, zesty opening that unfolds into herbaceous, floral, and lightly woody undertones. Fresh yet elegant, this oil is prized both in natural perfumery and aromatherapy for its uplifting, clarifying, and mood-enhancing qualities.
