Tangerine is a delightful alternative to Orange Oil, a bit lighter and much sweeter when used in a blend. The tangerine tree, Citrus Reticulata, grows in California, Florida and Texas and is actually the American variety of the East Asian Mandarin. Some say Tangerine and Mandarin may be used interchangeably, but others find their scents very different, saying that Mandarin seems a bit tarter, closer to a blend of orange and grapefruit. Tangerine Oil is machine pressed from the peel of the ripe fruit. In France it is regarded as a safe children's remedy for minor stomach ailments also safe for pregnant women and is recommended in synergistic combinations with other citrus oils.
(Citrus reticulata)
Origin: United States, Brazil
