Neroli oil is a plant oil similar in scent to bergamot produced from the blossom of the bitter orange tree. Our neroli oil is a 10% solution in carrier (jojoba) oil, which preserves all aromatic and therapeutic properties of neroli while making it affordable. The blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara) are gathered, usually by hand, and the oil is produced by water distillation, as the blossom is too fragile to endure steam distillation. By the end of the 17th century, Anne Marie Orsini, duchess of Bracciano and princess of Nerola, introduced the essence of bitter orange tree as a fashionable fragrance by using it to perfume her gloves and her bath. Since then, the name of Neroli has been used to describe this essence. Neroli has a refreshing and distinctive, spicy aroma with sweet and flowery notes. As an essential oil, it is used in aromatherapy and massage, Neroli is considered to have a soothing effect on the nervous system.
