Organic Greek Sweet Orange Essential Oil 15ml

Did you know that oranges may have been the famous ‘golden apples’ in Greek mythology? It is said that citrus fruits were the dowry of Zeus’s bride, Hera, who kept them hidden in the gardens at the ‘western end of earth’ (possibly Atlas Mountains in Morocco). They were guarded by three nymphs - Hesperides (‘Daughters of Evening’).  Each nymph safeguarded her own fruit: Aigle tended the citron, Arethusa the lemon and Hesperethusa the orange. In his eleventh labour Heracles stole the fruits – referred to as the ‘golden apples’ – from the garden and gave them to mankind.

Area of Origin Nafplion, Peloponnisos
