- Add 2–3 drops to a water bottle or glass of water for a fresh, citrus flavour, or mix it with other culinary essential oils for various flavour combinations.

Experience
With its bright, citrusy aroma, Orange essential oil is a great choice for diffusing in the morning and throughout the day. Not only does its scent help clear the mind, but Orange essential oil may also help eliminate unwanted odors. When mixed with a night moisturiser and applied to the skin, Orange essential oil may help improve the appearance of skin. Orange, like other citrus oils, can cause photosensitivity, so avoid applying it to exposed skin before spending time in the sun.
