Aromatic Profile
The scent of Orange Peel CO₂ Wax is fresh, sweet, and juicy, reminiscent of freshly peeled oranges under the sun. It opens with sparkling citrus top notes, followed by a soft, honeyed heart and a subtle warm, resinous undertone. Compared to distilled orange essential oil, the CO₂ wax has greater depth and longevity, with gentle balsamic nuances that round out its brightness.
In perfumery, it functions as a heart-to-base modifier, blending well with:
- Spices: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg.
- Florals: neroli, ylang-ylang, jasmine.
- Resins and woods: frankincense, sandalwood, vetiver, cedar.
It lends both freshness and warmth—an aromatic duality that transforms blends into radiant, natural compositions. Its creamy consistency makes it perfect for solid perfumes, balms, and candles, where its scent unfolds slowly and sensuously.

Even at low concentrations (0.5–3%), Orange Peel CO₂ Wax infuses formulations with both function and fragrance, leaving skin refreshed and luminous.
