Overview

Organic Neroli Essential Oil, 10% Dilution

Our extraordinary organic Neroli essential oil from Egypt has a very powerful, yet light and uplifting floral aroma with an unusual fresh, sweet, terpene-like, subtle bitter green top note; it is our most complex Neroli and displays exquisite fresh white floral notes. Arctander points out that Neroli essential oil is probably one of the most frequently used florals in perfume compounding1, cost not withstanding due to the fact that it takes 2.2 pounds (1 kilo) of blossoms to yield only 1 gram (about 1 milliliter) of essential oil.2 It is found in the top notes of some of the most famous classic perfumes.3 Precious oils such as Neroli are the most likely to be adulterated, therefore we now verify the chemical analysis through a third-party testing lab.

The blossoms come from the Bitter Orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara), a resilient evergreen that belongs to the Rutaceae family; these are the same flowers that are used to extract Orange Blossom Absolute. The Bitter Orange is also the source of expressed oil from the peel, and Petitgrain essential oil steam distilled from the leaves. Two constituents present in Neroli in minute amounts are worth noting: N-methyl anthranilate - with its sweet and fruity nuances, and indole - a compound found in animal feces that perfumers use in imperceptible amounts for its erotic nature.4 Flower oils truly represent the highest expression of beauty the botanical world has to offer.

Orange Blossom (Neroli) was first introduced as a fashionable scent near the end of the 17th century by Marie-Anne de La Trémoille, Duchess of Bracciano, later known as the Princess of Nerola. She loved the scent of orange blossoms and used it to perfume her clothes, gloves and bath; since then, this beautiful essence has been known as Neroli.5 Today Neroli essential oil is widely used in perfumery and skincare, particularly in formulations for dry and mature skin. The comforting aroma is lovely in relaxing baths and massage blends.

This product is diluted for ease of use and contains 10% organic Neroli essential oil in 90% Fractionated Coconut Oil – Organic. For the pure and undiluted version of this oil, please see our Neroli Egypt – Organic.

Expensive Things Smell Good Review by

I got a sample of this because I was intrigued by the high price and seems like every perfume has it. I took a sniff and cried. Why do expensive things have to smell so good. I normally hate florals, except for lavender and jasmine in small amounts. But this neroli is so fresh and green. Love it. I think this would make a great beachy vacation type perfume

Reminds me of honeysuckle, which is just what I need as winter starts. Very fresh, not overpowering. Lasted well, a couple hours, as a few swipes on my wrist from the sample dropper/applicator. I love it.
