Citrus Products
Generally people think of citrus and then imagine biting into their favorite citrus fruits. The bitter sweet taste of a spoonful of ruby red grapefruit with a sprinkle of sugar, eating the tangy lemon wedge that has flavored your glass of water on a hot day, the refreshing taste of a wedge orange after an intense first half of a soccer game- these are only a few of the images that automatically come to mind when thinking about the word citrus. Then of course you have those you fantasize about their favorite citrus blends to accompany their morning breakfast along side their coffee before a busy day of work or school. The tall glass of Vitamin C rich orange juice or perhaps the blend of a number of different citrus favorites such as tangerine, carrot and orange or perhaps a more simple grapefruit and orange combination. There is nothing better then a glass of healthy and delicious fresh squeezed juice in the morning.
Regardless, people associate the vibrant, refreshing and invigorating smell of fruits such as oranges, lemons and limes to positive memories and cleanliness. After all, the citrus acid in the fruit also helps cut greasy as well as provide a beautiful fragrance to be left behind. So, this is the second image people will come up with when confronted with the word citrus. They think of their dish soap, the all natural cleaning products that they use to wipe down their wood furniture, or the lemon and lime smell left behind when cleaning the windows. It is fascinating how so many people correlate the smell of citrus to freshness, to cleanliness, to new beginnings. This may be in part also connected to the tradition of gifting citrus fruits at New Years to family, friends and neighbors as a means of good luck and new beginnings in many countries around the world.
Citrus fragrances are also added to many perfumes and body scrubs, many of which will be described as ‘refreshing’ or ‘re-invigorating’ some even call the morning bursts! This positive correlation with these colorful and delicious fruits is an age-old phenomenon and ensures you will not go wrong if you choose one of these flavors or fragrances if you need a gift for someone. It is by far the best option when choosing gift baskets or selecting perfumes for holiday gifts or special event presents. Whether you are purchasing a basket of delicious treats or scented body scrubs, soaps, shampoos, conditioners or perfumes your gift recipient will be happy. If you know that your gift recipient is a fanatic of fresh juices, perhaps you can purchase them a juicer or lime or orange press instead of the fruit themselves.
