The city surrounded by orange blossom is the most charming.
When I was a child, my mother would buy some oranges every time I got carsick. When the brain is dizzy, nothing is worth a few fresh "orange peels".
As a result, I have a complex for the fragrance of oranges from an early age. We often eat navel oranges, and later we gradually learn that there are blood oranges and bitter oranges. Bitter orange is raw and bitter, and it is not delicious until the fruit is ripe and falls, rolls all over the ground, and no one goes to pick it up.
Bitter orange does not sell well and is unlikable, but if you encounter the fragrance of orange blossoms after the spring rain, you will forgive the bitterness of the fruit.
The small white flowers in fragrant flowers, not only jasmine, but also orange blossoms.

If you have been to Seville in the spring, Spanish castles and churches are no longer the only reason to stop, but the city surrounded by orange blossom is the most charming.
Many bitter orange trees are planted on both sides of the streets of Seville, and every spring, the fragrance of orange blossoms permeates the whole city, as if mistakenly into a garden.
Orange blossom is a hermit. For ordinary people, orange blossoms are not as common as jasmine, but for perfumers and skincare developers, orange blossoms are in their favor.
Essential oil is also a common form of orange blossom. An orange blossom essential oil is very precious and is known as the "drill of Materia Medica". Only 80 grams of essential oil can be produced per 100 kilograms of orange blossoms, and it takes 20 years to plant before the best quality flowers can be used to extract essential oil.
You and my city also happen to see orange blossoms. In March and April, when the weather is warm and cold again and again, it is the time for orange blossoms to bloom.

In the impression of many people, orange blossoms come from the west. In fact, looking back to the origin, bitter orange and citrus fruit trees actually originated in the south of ancient China, which were recorded as early as the pre-Qin period.
"the orange blossom is also Juanjuan, according to the innocence of water farmers. Few people know about the solitary incense, and the wasp is the guest. " In the Northern Song Dynasty, people already knew the fragrance of orange blossom, known as solitary fragrance, and used it to express their aspirations.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, someone began to extract essential oils by distilling orange blossoms. The concubines and princesses in the palace are naturally newcomers, and the royal doctors have long developed a secret beauty recipe with orange blossoms as the main raw material.
In ancient China, the use of orange blossom mostly stayed in the palace aristocracy, and it was the princess of Nerola in Italy in the 17th century who really pushed the orange blossom to the altar.
Yes,it's me
I am the little princess of orange blossoms.
The princess loves orange blossoms. She not only takes a bath with orange blossoms, but also uses orange blossoms to incense everything, books, gloves, dresses and jewelry. Wherever you go, it gives off the fragrance of orange blossoms, a walking "orange blossom essence".
With the praise of Princess Neroli, orange blossom quickly became popular in Italy and spread all over Europe through the merchants of Venice.
This white flower is fresh and elegant, fragrant and charming, as pure as a maiden temperament, gradually conquering the European royal family and becoming the princess's "exclusive fafa".

At the same time, orange blossom is also a favorite ingredient in aromatherapy because it has a good healing effect. It can make people feel happy and relieve long-term anxiety, depression and stress.
Why do we yearn for orange blossoms?
Every day in the mixed smell of the crowd back and forth, food aroma, car exhaust, the smell of strangers, nose filled with the smell such as tiny dust stacked fog.
The narrow and turbid smell occasionally disturbs our thoughts. Longing for a quiet environment, watching a flower blooming and smelling a wisp of fragrance.
Mr. Zhou Zuoren said, "it is necessary for us to watch the sunset, watch the autumn river, see the flowers, listen to the rain, smell the fragrance, drink wine that does not quench our thirst and eat snacks that do not satisfy our needs."
The foggy scent of flowers spread to every corner of the body, the entanglement and unhappiness disappeared, and reconciled with the world at that moment.
Chinese people have a tradition of smelling incense.
Quietly smell a tree of flowers
You can escape into a simple world.
