Definicija

Sweet, waxy-floral, and green-citrus. Tangerine blossom smells like orange blossom's lighter, more citrusy sibling — less narcotic, more transparent, with the tangerine's specific sweetness woven into its petals.

Miris

Sweet, waxy-floral, and green-citrus. Less narcotic and intense than orange blossom/neroli. More specifically mandarin-sweet due to methyl anthranilate content. The waxy quality is characteristic of all citrus blossoms — a smooth, slightly oily florality.

Compared to neroli, tangerine blossom is lighter and less complex. Compared to lemon blossom, it is sweeter and less tart. It occupies a gentle, accessible position in the citrus-floral spectrum.

Teroar i poreklo

Detaljno

Tangerine blossom is the flower of Citrus reticulata (mandarin/tangerine). Like all citrus blossoms, it is fragrant and produces an essential oil related to but distinct from neroli (from bitter orange blossom). Tangerine blossom is lighter, sweeter, and less indolic than its bitter orange counterpart.

The aromatic profile includes linalool (floral), methyl anthranilate (grape-like, sweet, characteristic of mandarin), limonene (citrusy), and geraniol (rosy). The methyl anthranilate content is the key differentiator — this molecule, which gives mandarin peel its particular sweet-fruity character, is also present in the blossom, linking the flower and fruit scents.

In perfumery, tangerine blossom provides a lighter, more citrusy alternative to orange blossom — useful when neroli's intensity is too much and petitgrain's greenness is too herbal.

Dobijanje i hemija

Način dobijanja

Steam distillation or solvent extraction of Citrus reticulata flowers. Production is very limited compared to neroli (from bitter orange blossom), as mandarin cultivation prioritizes fruit harvest. The oil composition is similar to neroli but with higher methyl anthranilate and lower indole content. Not a standard commercial product at perfumery scale.

Fizička svojstva
Nota
Citrus reticulata blossom. Very rare essential oil; properties similar to petitgrain/neroli family. Not commercially distilled at scale.

U parfemima

Tangerine blossom is a heart note providing sweet, light citrus-florality. It bridges citrus and floral territories more gently than neroli. The methyl anthranilate component links it to mandarin peel notes, allowing smooth transitions between top and heart. Useful in citrus-floral, spring, and light-feminine compositions. Less frequent than neroli but known for transparency.
