The Symbol of the Sun
Imported in Europe in the 15th century by Portuguese seafarers, sweet orange soon became a highly prized fruit. Grown in warm, sunny climates from Florida to the Mediterranean Basin, it is now consumed throughout the world. Juicy, fruity and mouthwatering, but also clean, fresh and sparkling, orange essential oil has long been favored by perfumers, in fine as well as functional fragrance. Discover the many faces of this vitamin-laced citrus fruit by journeying through botany, history, mixology, art, agriculture and chemistry without overlooking, of course, perfume and perfumers.
