Orange leaf, derived from the foliage of the orange tree (Citrus sinensis), offers a distinctly fresh, citrusy aroma that is sharp yet somewhat sweet. This scent profile comes from the essential oils located within the leaves, particularly the compound limonene, which is prevalent in all parts of the orange tree. Orange leaf’s fragrance is herbaceous and carries a green, zesty zest that is lighter and less intense than the fruit but similarly energizing and refreshing. This versatile aroma makes it a favorite in various applications, ranging from perfumery and aromatherapy to household cleaning products, where it adds a natural and invigorating element. Its crisp, clean smell evokes a sense of brightness and purity, often used to uplift the mood and freshen the air.
