As a scent this wonderful citrus fruit relieves stress. It lessens anxiety for us very much like the color of the fruit does.

The meaning of the scent of orange is associated with love, companionship and relationships. It brings harmony into our souls. It can stand alone as a pleasant aroma to have in our homes or it can be combined with other fragrances like cinnamon or cloves for an even more appealing aroma.

You can take orange peels and grind them up in your garbage disposal to get rid of those stale lingering food smells. You can also purchase all purpose cleaners that have the scent of orange for a clean smell to please your nostrils after cleaning.

Using an essential oil in a warmer is also an option for having the sweet scent of oranges in your home or office.
