Sweet Orange Essential Oil (4oz)

The animal repellent preps were not working to keep the neighbors' kitties and feral cats away from our front door (5" above the ground-level doormat). When one kitty decided to spray to scent-mark its territory, then others followed suit. The odor INSIDE the storm door & solid front door was becoming too much. To say nothing of outside! It was impossible not to track some in.The solution? Use the enclosed eye dropper to generously apply drops of the orange oil from about 2 feet to the left of the door to 2 feet to the right of the door, and across the bottom of the aluminum storm door itself. Oh yes, and we also applied another 20-25 drops to the front mat.I applied it twice about 3 days apart to the siding and door. Both applications were about 6-7 inches above ground level. The feline visitors decided to find somewhere else to hang out that's less offensive than an orange grove. Yay!

I recently won a snazzy new humidifier with a compartment built just for essential oils. With being thorough with testing out my new humidifier, I kept thinking I should 'get orange-scented oil'. It might smell nice. The thought of an orange scent floating through my home with a remedy for dry air was a win-win. But, life and my humidifier had other plans.The promised orangey aroma was more like a faint whisper rather than the full-on citrus choir I was expecting and hoping for. The water vapor from the humidifier infused with the orange oil was just alright. Nothing spectacular. It wasn't overwhelmingly orange-scented but more like a gentle nudge of 'Hey, I kind of smell like oranges.' The oil is light in its viscosity and not as thick as vegetable or olive oil. It's more yellow than orange in color. Honestly, that is a good thing because if it were bright orange, I'd be really suspicious of the usage of dyes and other fake additives in the oil. It seems to me the product lives up to being honest, pure, and natural.I didn't exactly swish this around in my mouth like mouthwash, but out of curiosity, I did taste it. The flavor? Well, it's not going to replace orange juice at the breakfast table. The oil did make my mouth tingle, and it did make my mouth numb for a bit. I would say it tasted sort of like an orange peel zest but very subtle. It wasn't something that was particularly inspiring. It's certainly not something I would bake with or add to something to create an orange-like flavor.I was kind of disappointed in the lack of aroma at this point. I then started to think about how else I could use this product. I recalled a trick people use when selling homes where they bake vanilla extract in the oven to create a homely, cookie-like scent to fill their home. I figured, why not give it a whirl with orange oil? Lo and behold, success! I lightly covered a glass casserole dish with a small pool of the orange oil and set the oven to 220°F. My home was soon filled with the smell of sweet oranges. Sure, it was a bit of a wallflower in the humidifier, but it really knew how to dance in the warmth of the dry heat produced by the oven. Once the oil had evaporated, I turned the oven off and cleaned the glass casserole dish.In terms of size, I went big and opted for a 4 oz bottle. This bigger bottle was a bit indulgent, but the price wasn't bad. I have more than enough to last me a long while, especially while I'm product testing the humidifier. I like that it came in a UV-protecting brown glass bottle with a full-size glass dropper. I'm sure I'll find multiple uses for the glass dropper long after I'm done with this bottle of orange oil. Impromptu, I actually created a reed diffuser using some things I had lying around my kitchen: a piece of string, an old glass bottle from Italian Herb seasoning, and some bamboo skewers. It looks nice for what it is on my bookshelf, and it'll certainly help put the orange oil to use in another way.If you're sitting on the fence, I'd say hop off and give it a try. Who knows, you might find it pretty a-peel-ing! I certainly found multiple uses for it, some better than others. I would recommend this product, and I'm having thoughts of trying out the other available oils from this company.Has my review been of help to you?

This essential oil is high quality and smells amazing! Our favorite use is adding it to homemade sugar scrubs. We gift the scrubs and always get people asking for more!! Would highly recommend!

I love the scent of this oil for my diffuser, but the scent is not even noticeable after an hour. It is very strong and fragrant when the diffuser is first turned on and I can smell it in the front rooms of my house, but after an hour, it may as well be just plain water in my diffuser. I feel that the price is great and I love that the bottle is a nice value for the money, but I wish that the scent lasted a lot longer than it does. I am willing to try other scents by this company.

The sweet orange essential oil is fantastic! It’s fresh, uplifting, and perfect for diffusing or adding to cleaning products. I love the natural and pure quality.
