The scent of lemon has long been used as in household cleaners, dish soap and laundry detergent. A fresh lemon scent is associated with clean sparkling dishes, freshly laundered clothing and a general feeling of cleanliness. It's strange that of all the citrus fruits, it's taken so long for the other fresh citrus scents to catch on.
Recently we bought a couple of tubes of toothpaste in the latest and greatest flavors: lemon and orange. So too, in recent years, the Body Shoppe, famous for their heavenly scented oils, have started selling Satsuma oil, lotion and shower gel all in a fresh orange scent.
To me, the scent of an orange is just as, if not more, inviting than the scent or flavor of lemon. In fact, the actual taste of a lemon is quite sour and the artificial lemon flavoring is really nothing like the real taste. As for oranges, the only thing that beats the scent of an orange is the flavor of those plump, juicy and refreshing fruits straight from the Florida groves.
If I could choose between having my laundry and home smelling of lemon or orange, I would definitely choose orange with no hesitation.
Maybe if the scent and flavor of lemon was given a little rest, it would become more enticing once again. But for now, the scent and flavor of an orange is one of the best scents ever, and to me it'll beat the scent and flavor of lemon every single time.
I remember when I was a child, one of my favorite candies was called Fruitella. Along with flavors like strawberry and peach came the most succulent candies in a luscious orange flavor. To me, these candies were a little bit of heaven.
As an adult, I always keep an eye out for that fresh orange scent. Of course, most times I'm disappointed, and end up leaving with another lemon scented dish soap, laundry detergent, window cleaner and now, even toothpaste. (Orange always seems to be sold out!) We did find a delightful orange bathroom spray that's very refreshing and I always make sure I'm well-stocked with orange body oil. But my laundry soap has that fresh lemon scent, I add the flavor of lemon to my chicken and there's always something of the lemon variety under the kitchen sink.
I wonder when grapefruit or even lime will move into the spotlight of great, refreshing aromas and flavors. Orange has slowly started to be used more by manufacturers and marketers, taking over a small portion of the market from lemon. Maybe in the future we'll have even more choices, opening up the playing field to scents and flavors like watermelon, grape and even pomegranate!!! In the meantime, I take orange when I can get it, and lemon when I'm left without much other choice, but I say it's high time that lemon was dethroned as the only fresh scent out there!
