Tangerine

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata) delivers a sweet, soft, gently fruity aroma - the mellow, joyful scent of ripe tangerines. Cold-pressed from the peel, this pure essential oil is a cheerful top note that fills a space with a warm, sweet, comforting citrus atmosphere. Softer and sweeter than Orange, gentler than most citrus oils, Tangerine is a family-friendly favorite for warm, happy diffusion and sweet blending.
