Tangerine oil – essential oil for joie de vivre, optimism & lightness

Tangerine essential oil (Citrus reticulata) is a precious citrus oil that stands out for its particularly sweet and intense fragrance .

While many citrus oils are refreshing and zesty, tangerine oil exudes an almost candy-like, fruity sweetness. It has been used in aromatherapy for centuries to boost mood, creativity, and optimism . Ancient traditions attribute to the oil the ability to dispel melancholy, strengthen joie de vivre, and open the heart . While it has a calming effect on some, it can serve as a gentle energizer for others. This versatility makes tangerine essential oil a valuable companion in everyday life—especially in times when one seeks lightness and inspiration .

🍊 Difference to mandarin oil

Since tangerine oil also comes from the mandarin family ( Citrus reticulata ), it is often confused with mandarin oil . However, there are subtle differences:

• Mandarin oil: a delicate, slightly tart scent with a gentle sweetness. Ideal for balance, calm, and sensitive individuals.
• Tangerine oil: sweet, intense, fruity, and playful. Perfect for promoting joy, optimism, and lightness.

Both oils promote inner balance and optimism—but tangerine oil is even fruitier and more playful . If you'd like to learn more about all citrus oils, you'll find a detailed overview on our Citrus Essential Oils page.
