Valencia Sunrise CO₂ Wax — Pure, Solid, Uncompromised

Standard cold-pressed orange oil is a familiar, well-loved citrus material — but this CO₂ wax offers something considerably rarer and more complex. Extracted from orange peel, it captures not just the bright volatile citrus top notes but the full lipid and aromatic complexity locked within the peel itself, yielding a material with a genuinely different depth and roundness than the conventional cold-pressed oil ever achieves.

Supplied here in its pure, undiluted, solid wax form — exactly as extracted, with no carrier of any kind added. This is the genuine article for perfumers who prefer to prepare their own dilutions, or who want to work directly with the material in its most concentrated and authentic state.

Scent Profile

A sweet, sun-ripened orange character — rounder and more concentrated than the bright, volatile freshness of the cold-pressed essential oil, with a genuine depth from the peel's full lipid complexity. A subtle warmth underlies the citrus top, giving this wax real sophistication and staying power.

Perfumery Applications

An excellent way to introduce genuine citrus warmth and depth into compositions without the fleeting volatility of standard orange essential oil — its waxy, more grounded character gives it better staying power as a supporting citrus note. Well suited to gourmand compositions, soft floral-citrus accords, and warm oriental structures where a rounded, sweet citrus facet is wanted rather than a sharp, bright top note.

Usage Note

This wax is solid at room temperature. To prepare for use, gently warm in a water bath at around 90°C to melt it into a liquid, then dilute with your solvent of choice according to your own formulation preferences.

Blending Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with neroli, orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, benzoin, patchouli, and other citrus and floral materials.
