orange blossom fragrance

Orange blossom fragrance is a scent material known for its distinctly floral odor reminiscent of fresh orange blossoms. This fragrance falls under the general category of floral aromatic compounds widely utilized in the fragrance industry. It is also referred to by synonyms such as orange flower fragrance, orangeblossom fragrance, and orangeflower fragrance. The material is associated with a compelling orange blossom scent profile, contributing to its use in various perfumery and fragranced product formulations. For detailed molecular and chemical data, it is connected to controlled vocabularies like PubChem. Typically derived from citrus flowers, this fragrance captures the fresh and sweet essence of the orange blossom flower, making it a valued ingredient in multiple product types.

Orange blossom fragrance naturally relates to the aromatic profile of citrus blooms, mainly from orange trees. It is widely applied in fragranced products of all types, where its fresh floral notes enhance the sensory appeal of formulations. Its odor profile aligns with other floral and citrus notes such as neroli, jasmine, and mandarin. Usage considerations include compatibility with components like acacia, amber, and lemon to build complex bouquets or gardenia mimicking scents. The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) standards (Global) are relevant for its formulation and use, particularly emphasizing peroxide levels and the addition of antioxidants like BHT or alpha-tocopherol to ensure product stability and safety. Orange blossom fragrance finds potential use in florals, citrus blends, oriental accords, and other aromatic categories but is not recommended for flavoring purposes.

Orange blossom fragrance exhibits specific gravity values ranging from 0.9 to 0.962 at 25 °C, indicating its density relative to water. Its refractive index spans 1.47 to 1.49 at 20 °C, reflecting its optical properties important for quality control and formulation verification. The material is soluble in alcohol but insoluble in water, which affects its dispersion and stability in various product bases. Proper storage in a cool, dry place, protected from heat and light, extends its shelf life of approximately 24 months or longer. These physicochemical characteristics influence how formulators incorporate orange blossom fragrance into complex fragranced products and how the material behaves during processing and storage.

Safety in use information

Category:
fragranced products of all types
IFRA fragrance material specification:
	Linalool and natural products known to be rich in linalool, such as bois de rose, coriander or ho wood oil, should only be used when the level of peroxides is kept to the lowest practical level. It is recommended to add antioxidants at the time of production of the raw material. The addition of 0.1% BHT or alpha-tocopherol for example has shown great efficiency. The maximum peroxide level for products in use should be 20 mmol/l.
Recommendation for orange blossom fragrance flavor usage levels up to:
	not for flavor use.
