From Southeast Asia to Spain

Orange trees come from tropical and subtropical Southeast Asia. In the first century BC, Romans used the term malum aurantium, meaning golden-colored fruit. Arab expansion carried orange trees across the Mediterranean. Portugal and Spain became major producers.

How Portugal Gave Oranges a Name

Portugal exported a sweet-bitter orange called bical to Europe, a trade that may date to the Middle Ages. The word Portugal became the name for the fruit. Arabic burtugal, Greek portokali and Turkish portakal all follow it. In the 18th century, Portugal brought a sweet Chinese orange to Europe.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this orange fragrance oil to your own base. An orange grove scent pairs well with cinnamon or lavender. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Orange groves still define the landscapes of Spain and Portugal. Many soap makers choose a sweet orange scent for its familiar warmth. A reliable citrus fragrance oil for soap can brighten any base. An orange grove scent adds a place to the story.
