What Are the Different Types of Citrus Essential Oil?
Citrus essential oil is often part of clean, uplifting scents that are used all year round, but are quite popular in the summer months. Citrus essential oil can be extracted from nearly any citrus fruit, but most commonly comes from the bergamot orange. Other types of citrus essential oil are made from oranges, lemons, limes, grapefruits, and tangerines. In addition to being used to scent Lady Grey tea and Earl Grey tea, the essential oil that is extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange has been used in fragrance blends for centuries. It is still quite common today and is used in perfumes, lotions, and balms. Citrus essential oil from bergamot oranges also is used for products to scent the home such as diffusers and candles.
