Orange Essential Oil (Sweet Dark)


Average Product Rating: 4.9 / 5 (Based on 16 Customer Reviews)


Main Constituents:
d-Limonene: 95.5%

Botanical Name: Citrus sinensis

Plant Part: Fruit Peel

Extraction Method: Cold Pressed

Origin: USA

Description: Sweet Orange is derived from an evergreen tree. It is smaller than the bitter orange tree, and less hardy with fewer or no spines. The fruit itself has a sweet pulp with no bitter membrane.

Color: Yellowish orange to dark orange liquid.

Common Uses: Properties for Orange Sweet Dark Essential Oil are similar to that of Bitter Orange Oil in its applications. They include being antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, carminative, cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant (nervous) and tonic (cardiac, circulatory). It has also been applied to combat colds, constipation, dull skin, flatulence, the flu, gums, slow digestion, and stress. It differs from regular Orange Sweet in that it is from a first pressing that enhances the therapeutic quality.

Consistency: Thin

Note: Top

Strength of Aroma: Medium

Blends well with: Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon, Clary Sage, Myrrh, Sandalwood, Nutmeg, Cinnamon Bark and Clove Bud.

Aromatic Scent: Orange Sweet Dark Essential Oil has a sweet, citrus smell much like the orange peels it is derived from, only more intense and concentrated.

History: There is some argument, but it is believed that sweet orange was brought to Europe by the Arabs in the First century along with the bitter orange.

Cautions: Some aromatherapists have reported that a small percentage of few people have experienced dermatitis from the limonene content of sweet orange. Orange Essential Oil is considered photo-toxic and exposure to sunlight should be avoided. Do not use if pregnant.

If you're looking for that slightly sharp note that truly captures the experience of peeling a juicy ripe orange, this is the EO you've been looking for. Not being a huge fan of sweet fragrances, this one is a personal favorite. Do not let the name fool you. The color is dark and rich, yes - but I do not find it to be sweet.

Dark sweet orange oil is too good! Brings back memories of elementary school when Santa would hand out bags of oranges and apples after making a grand entrance to our auditorium. This is one of the great Holiday scents. Just like everyone says: just like breaking open a fresh orange in a room full of happy kids all peeling oranges and getting sticky and happy and joyful. Peace!

This is one of the best orange eos I have tried. I put it in quite a few things, but it makes me happy just to open the bottle and get a good nose full.

I love this oil. The smell is great and is uses for cleaning are just as wonderful. I have a spray for the bathroom that includes lemon, grapefruit, orange, and peppermint. That smell is great and refreshing. Another mix is cinnamon, clove bud, and orange. It smells amazing and seems to be a great holiday mixture. I use it as a cleaning agent and mix it with EO's like Eucalyptus for disenfecting the bathroom and kitchen.

What a great oil !! and an amazing price. No home should be without it. To me, it seems like a catalyst, when blended with other oils it appears to bring out the best and enhance those oils. A wonderful oil for children, It is cheerful, comforting and relaxing

The dark orange colouring of this oil adds a vibrant orange to products. It is inexpensive enough to use with soaps and vinegars for household cleaning and for deodorizing. Try it with ginger and lots of witchhazel in an atomizing bottle for an air freshener.

I think this is my favotire of the orange EO's the one thing I can say about this that really will help you understand how it is different from the others is it has much more of a PEEL scent to it - you know how when you bite a bit of peel it has a sour note? Well you get that in its aroma.
