Tunisian Orange Leaf Absolute | Citrus Aurantium Perfumery Grade

Part of our Professional Perfumers Range — curated for the discerning natural perfumer seeking exceptional depth and rarity.

This exquisite green-citrus absolute captures the essence of sun-drenched orange groves in North Africa. Derived from the foliage of bitter orange trees, it delivers a striking aromatic profile that stands apart from conventional citrus extracts. The character is distinctively verdant and crisp, opening with an invigorating burst of freshly torn leaves intertwined with tart citrus zest.

What makes this extract truly remarkable is its layered complexity — beneath the bright opening lies a subtle tobacco-like warmth, delicate vegetal undertones, and an intriguing watery transparency that lends modern diffusion to any composition. The bitter-floral aspect provides depth without heaviness, creating an effect that is simultaneously grounded and ethereal.

This absolute excels in building authentic nature-inspired accords, sophisticated colognes, and contemporary green florals. Its exceptional blending versatility allows seamless harmony with neroli, petitgrain, bergamot, galbanum, aromatic herbs, and white floral notes. The transparent, airy quality adds lift and movement, making compositions feel fresh and alive.

Whether crafting a classic hesperidic fragrance or exploring modern green interpretations, this perfumery-grade material offers natural complexity and refined elegance that elevates any formulation.
