Clementine

 Citrus Nobilis/clementina~~cold pressed from the outer peel a cross between a sweet orange tree and a mandarin tree. The clergyman Pierre Clement is credited with crossing a mandarin and an orange. This coupling resulted in a seedless mandarin with a looser skin that was easier to peel.  As complex and multi-layered as a good Red Mandarine, but sweeter.  The sweetness of Sweet Orange Rind or Tangerine, but more subtle. Almost a touch of floral to it. The leaves are steam distilled for Clementine Petitgrain, which has the effects and action of traditional Bitter Orange Petitgrain, but with a softer, sweeter, more noticeably citrus-floral scent.
