Abstract The wastage of food production for humans lead to a serious problem globally. The Citrus peels contain high amount of an essential oil which is beneficial in many ways. Here, orange peel (Citrus Sinensis) extract has been extracted using Soxhlet method by distilled ethanol as a solvent. Soxhlet extraction method is used to extract compounds from a solid sample with the help of a solvent. The Soxhlet extraction method manifested to be efficacious in acquiring a high yield of essential oil, capable of utilizing the perfume industries for its efficiencies in aroma and potential bioactivity. The GC-MS analysis, mainly for volatile and semi-volatile compounds was carried out and applications in perfume has been shown. Many people feel the need to wear a fragrance to feel good, this is probably because there is a connection between scent and emotion as well as between scent and memory. Moreover, studies have shown that some fragrances can boost mood and even relieve anxiety and stress.
