Neroli

Description

Neroli essential oil is extracted from the soft, white blossoms of the Bitter Orange tree which are usually gathered by hand between April and May. It takes approximately 1000 pounds of Bitter Orange blossoms to make just one pound of Neroli oil. The tree is native to eastern Africa and tropical Asia but is now grown throughout the Mediterranean region as well as California and Florida. Neroli is one of the most widely used floral oils in perfumery, the aroma is sweet and ultra-feminine and blends well with most other oils. Neroli’s lovely scent isn’t immediately noticeable in undiluted form, but, when added to a carrier oil or other base, its true aroma emerges.
