Citrus Natural Perfume Recipes

Citrus is a genus of flowering trees and shrubs that produce citrus fruits. Probably the most common vision we have when we hear the word “citrus” is of the morning orange juice that so many of us drink each morning.

Additionally, other citrus fruits we love are grapefruit, limes, and lemons. And did you know that although Florida is known for its oranges and grapefruit, Arizona’s citrus groves are also top-notch?

In fact, many experts say Arizona’s soil is perfect for growing citrus. Arizona also doesn’t have the bug and pest issue like Florida, where pests are abundant due to the humidity!
