Citrus sinensis var. sanguinea
5-10€ / 10ml
Blood orange is a natural mutation of sweet orange that appeared in Sicily in the 17th century, in the Etna region. Volcanic soils and temperature variations promote the production of anthocyanins, the pigments responsible for the red color. Moro, Tarocco and Sanguinello are the most famous varieties. The pressed essence retains a slightly raspberry note absent from classic sweet orange.
Differs from sweet orange by traces of anthocyanins and specific esters that give a more complex olfactory note, with almost red facets. Therapeutically almost interchangeable with sweet orange. The difference is mainly olfactory: more gourmet, more sophisticated.

Similar but blood orange has a slightly different composition with more specific anthocyanin-derived compounds in the peel. Its scent is sweeter and more complex, with red berry notes. Same uses: diffusion, mood, relaxation.
Excellent. Its warm, sweet, fruity scent creates a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Very well tolerated, including around children. Combines beautifully with cinnamon (1 drop) for a winter ambiance.
