As one of the most often used top perfume notes (especially for floral fragrances), orange conquers the hearts of both men and women with its crispy freshness and delicious citrus sweetness. A very little known fact about oranges is that their name (contrary to popular belief) doesn\u2019t come from their color. The word \u201corange\u201d is derived from Sanskrit and means \u201cfragrant\u201d!<\/p>\n

Perfumers love using orange in the composition of both men and women perfumes from diverse fragrance families because its sweet, yet refreshing scent pleases the senses and creates a craving for tropical sandy beaches and exotic places. Besides, it blends perfectly with other citrus notes, such as lemon, lime, grapefruit, mandarin, bitter orange, pomelo, blood orange, etc. It also blends exceptionally well with notes like cinnamon, cloves, frankincense, ginger, black pepper, sandal wood, and vetiver.<\/p>\n
