The orange fruit grows on an evergreen tree, up to 33ft. The oils of orange fold 5 are those of the sweet orange, but in a much higher concentration, giving it a stranger aroma. The fruit itself has no bitter membranes and is less hardy with fewer to no spines

Folded Essential Oils: Through distillation, terpenes are partially removed from the oil thus giving it a slightly stronger scent. Some terpenes are more likely to oxidize thus removing some will help improve the shelf-life of the essential oil  for soaps and candles.
