Neroli, also known as "orange blossom", is the flowers of the same Citrus aurantium var. amara that produces bitter orange and petitgrain essential oil. While petitgrain oil is extracted from the tips (branches and leaves), and bitter orange oil comes from the fruit peels, Neroli essential oil is obtained from the freshly picked, ready-to-open blossoms. It takes about 1000 lbs of bitter orange flowers to make only 1 lbs of Neroli essential oil, making it one of the most precious oils in aromatherapy. The oil is named after an Italian princess, Anne-Marie de la Tremoille, Countess of Nerola, who discovered the oil and used it to perfume her gloves and bath. Today, Neroli is used extensively in high-class perfumery works, and is a key constituent of true eau de cologne.

Pros: The quality of this oil is par excellence I have been making vibrational remedy mists for 25 years. It is a combo of flower essences and essential oils. I have used many providers over the years, and have found Natural Green's oils are simply the best. My clients love "Un-Plugged" which is basically Neroli, pine, and lemon, with the flower essences.

Love this fantastic oil. The fragrance is so rich and divine. Simply delicious! I wish I could eat it. It may sound pricey. But it is the Neroli you are buying, not Petitgrain. And Neroli is never a cheap oil. Worth every penny you pay for. Highly recommendâ.! |
