EO Mandarin Red (org)  is an essential oil for use as a fragrance. Use the oil for example in perfume, air fresheners and other scented products.

Use

EO Mandarin red (org) has a warm citrus scent, reminiscent of mandarin. Dilution is unusual because the odor is not easily overpowered. It combines well with other citrus scents, and is usually used in a citrus accord. You usually use between 0.1% and 5% of this substance in the fragrance composition and in perfumes it is mainly a top note. In soap, unfortunately, it is virtually unusable like so much citrus oil.

Store cool, dry and dark.

Properties

EO Mandarin Red (org) is a 'red' oil at room temperature, hence the name. In practice it can vary from orange to reddish brown. The substance is sensitive to light and air and therefore does not have a long shelf life. The shelf life is slightly increased because 0.1% tocopherol has been added, but we recommend replacing this oil once a year. The oil is made by pressing the skin of Citrus reticulata Blanco, or mandarin. The mandarins in question are grown organically. Like any essential oil, this one is a mixture of various substances. An indication of the composition is the following:

> 25% - Limonene
5-10% - 4-Carvomenthenol
2-5% - Myrcene, Alpha Pinene, Beta Pinene
1-2% - para Cymene, Terpinolene

Apart from the addition of 0.1% tocopherol, this oil is a pure essential oil.
