Orange Bitter FCF E.O

13th April 2023: As I type we now have 2023 season Orange Bitter FCF oil for sale. The aroma profile is refreshing juicy orange and tart rind skins orientated. Gold standard citrus. Thank you, Adam : ) 

Eleonora Scalseggi has this to say “As an Italy-based operation we are very excited to be now able to offer (03/03/21) what we believe to be the best orange bitter essential oil that money can buy.

This orange bitter FCF is a colourless material, so very user-friendly for perfume compositions, plus as it can be easily guessed it contains little to nothing of the photosensitising furocoumarines making this a much safer material to use compared to the classic bitter orange essential oil.

As for the aroma, orange bitter FCF is uber uplifting and so beautifully clean, thirst quenching bitter and sparkling like a fizzy drink – minus any sugar, of course. After bergamot this is possibly the most refined and elegant smelling citrus oil that will easily blend in many compositions with great versatility.

The bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara) itself is very versatile and  a favourite of many perfumers, being able to offer a plethora of oils starting from heavenly neroli (obtained by steam distilling the flowers), green smelling Petitgrain and Petitgrain Water Absolute (obtained by steam distilling the leaves and solvent extracting the leaves hydrolat respectively), the wonderfully intoxicating Orange Blossom Absolute and Orange Blossom Water Absolute (the former obtained via solvent extraction of the flowers whilst the latter via solvent extraction of the neroli hydrolat), and last but not least the juicy fruit peel essential oil (obtained from the bitter orange fruit peel).
