Orange Blossom is ‘Bahar-Narenj’ in Farsi. ‘Bahar’ means spring, and ‘Narenj’ means citrus – pretty fitting for these five-petal flowers that pop in Springtime.
Historically, across China, India and Persia, the orange blossom embodies purity, innocence and chastity. To symbolise these virtues, these botanical beauties feature on bride's gowns.
A long-known aphrodisiac, orange blossom has a reputation for erotic energy. As a sweet, springtime scent, it’s a perfume and a calming agent when ingested.
