What other
people think
'Despite its obvious overlapping with Neroli, Orange
has quite a definite character of its own, reflecting the difference you might
expect between the flower oil and that from the fruit, for the oil of the Orange
is warmer and more rounded in aroma, with a feeling of jollity about it. It
seems to carry with it some of the sunshine needed for its ripening, and for
this reason is a wonderful oil to use in the winter. It blends well with almost
any of the spice oils: Cinnamon, Nutmeg or Clove especially, and also,
surprisingly with Lavender and Frankincense.' - An excerpt from Aromatherapy
