Orange Blossom Water Absolute

Orange blossom water absolute, derived from the fragrant blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), is a highly concentrated essential oil celebrated for its rich, floral, and somewhat citrusy aroma. This absolute captures the quintessence of the orange blossoms' sweet, fresh scent, with luxurious notes that are both intensely floral and delicately sweet, carrying subtle hints of the citrus zest that lies beneath.

The scent profile of orange blossom water absolute is complex and multi-faceted. At its heart, it exhibits a profound floral sweetness, reminiscent of the fresh, airy bloom of spring flowers. This central floral note is intricately layered with a mild, refreshingly green citrus tone, which adds a crisp freshness to the fragrance. Often, there are also undercurrents of a slightly woody or earthy base, which ground the high, sweet notes with a touch of depth and richness.

This absolute is not only treasured in perfumery, where it lends a romantic and sophisticated element to fragrances, but also in aromatherapy and culinary applications, where its soothing and uplifting properties are equally valued. Its aroma is known to be calming and can help reduce stress and anxiety, making it a favorite in various therapeutic and personal care products.
