It adds an approachable brightness to colognes, florals and spices. With vanilla or chocolate, its peel-like character can suggest candied fruit; with herbs, it feels more aromatic.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Sweet orange peel provides a natural essential oil. The fruit note is distinct from orange blossom and neroli, which refer to flowers rather than the orange fruit.
