Orange Essential Oil

Orange essential oil is extracted from the peels of the orange Citrus sinensis. 

"Oranges" may also refer to mandarin oranges Citrus reticulata or bitter oranges Citrus aurantium.

It is best to check the botanical names to verify what type of orange the essential oil is extracted from.

The aroma of orange essential oil is delicately sweet and tangy, and smells like fresh cut oranges.

Orange essential oil is composed of ~95% D-limonene and other minor compounds.

The word "orange" typically refers to the fruit of the Citrus sinensis species, which is the most popular type of orange in the world.

However, the term "orange" can also refer to fruits from other species of the citrus family, such as Citrus reticulata (mandarin orange) and Citrus aurantium (bitter orange).

Although these fruits belong to the same family (Rutaceae) and genus (Citrus) as sweet oranges, they are different species with distinct characteristics.

Thus, it is more precise to use their specific species names when referring to them rather than grouping them together as "types of oranges"
