Blood Orange Essential Oil


Average Product Rating: 5 / 5 (Based on 43 Customer Reviews)


Main Constituents:
Limonene: 98%

Botanical Name: Citrus sinensis

Plant Part: Crude Fruit Peel

Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Origin: Italy

Description: Citrus sinensis is a middle-sized evergreen tree, covered with bark of a greenish-brown color, having auxiliary spines on the branches. The leaves are alternate, ovate-oblong, acute, shining green, the stalk more or less winged. The blood orange has streaks of red in the fruit, and when squeezed the juice is often reddish.

Color: Oily reddish-orange to orange liquid.

Common Uses: Blood Orange Essential Oil is considered to have anti-depressant, antiseptic, anti-spasmodic and aphrodisiac properties. The scent is said to be uplifting and stimulating.

Consistency: Light

Note: Middle

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Lavender, Lemon, Clary Sage, Myrrh and Nutmeg and Clove Bud.

Aromatic Scent: Blood Orange essential oil has a warm, fresh citrus scent, radiant, fruity and tangy.

History: Also known as Maltese Orange, the fruit originated in India (some say Vietnam) and was called na rangi in Sanskrit. The na rangi or naranja was translated as norange, and in English usage a norange was back-formed into the more acceptable an orange. The same thing happened in French and Italian, but in Spanish it is still naranja.

Cautions: Avoid exposure to sunlight after skin application due to possible photo-toxicity.

WOW!!! I didn't even know that I was particularly fond of the scent of oranges until I smelled this!! It definitely smells like oranges, only it's sweeter and softer than the usual orange to me. I got the sample size and can't believe how quickly I ran out of it because of putting it in everything! Mixed with the chocolate FO, it's especially yummy!!

Very nice citrus oil. I used it with the sweet orange eo and some vanilla oleoresin and it smells like a sophisticated creamsicle. I combined it once again with the sweet orange eo, some labdanum eo, and some ginger eo and it smells sooo good in my cp soap.

I have been searching for ages, trying my hardest to find beautiful essential oils for a good price, and I have finally found it with New Directions! This Blood Orange smells simply delicious… light, fresh, almost floral, I am in love with it already! I am very excited to make a batch of my (cold process) soap with it.

I love this product. I must say, when I first got it I was skeptical when the package arrived however, the smell was so intoxicating I could not stop from smiling. This sent can be smelled through the bottle. I did not even have to open it up before I fell in love with it. I used this with the lemongrass eo in the ND body butter and I could not get enough. My daughter had me make some for her and her friends. I would have to say that this will definitely be a favorite of mine.

What a delicious oil! I have never been disappointed with any oils I've ordered from ND, and this is no exception. Opening the bottle was like zesting the orange myself! I added this to lavender for a sweet smelling deodorant blend, and also with valerian and chamomile for a sleep blend that I drop on my pillow each night.

This is an amazing EO. The scent is so uplifting and fresh. It smells like a bottle of fresh squeezed blood oranges (peel and all). I used this EO (along with clove and benzoin oils) in my first ever batch of soap, and it adds a very warm/sweet tone to the overall frangrance. This was my first order with NDA, and it certainly won't be my last. I'm super impressed with the products, packaging, and service.

Blood Orange EO has a very warm, softer scent than the other orange scents. Reminds me of marmalade jam and the colour of the oil is intense orange, gives soaps a nice golden tone. Wish I had bought the larger size! Great job ND on providing so many selections.

As soon as I opened this bottle, I couldn't stop smelling it. I haven't even had a chance to use it in anything yet and I can hardly wait to do so. I tried to describe the smell to a family member and was stumped. It reminds me strongly of clementines but also tangerines and every variety of orange out there. And that still doesn't even begin to describe it. It's sweet and tangy and fresh and fruity and you can all take my word for it being an effective anti-depressant. And I'm still shocked by the rock-bottom price of this oil. If you even remotely like the smell of oranges, do not even bother with a small tester size of this one. :o)

WOW! I know the description lists the strength of this oil as "medium", but it's really strong! So strong that some of the most potent oils I purchased either can't stand up to it, or compete so strongly that they can't be blended. However, this is a good thing - given how far a single drop of this oil will take you, the price is even more amazing. Also, this works even better than clary sage EO as an antidepressant! (Fresh clary sage is still the best, but this oil really gives it a run for its money)! Very, very impressed with this oil, which is richer than sweet orange, but still incredibly bright!

This citrus oil is very similar to sweet orange essential oil, which most of us are familiar with. However it is sweeter and feels a bit darker or warmer than the popular sweet orange. It's definately worth a try!
