The scent is soft, floral, fresh and slightly sweet, with a typical honey-like underlayer. The Latin name is \u003cem\u003eCitrus Aurantium Amara\u003c\/em\u003e, and the oil is extracted from the white flowers of the bitter orange tree. Our Neroli comes from Tunisia, one of the best-known areas of origin for high-quality neroli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeroli is particularly precious because 10 ml of essential oil requires about 1 kilogram of flowers, which must be picked by hand before they fall open. This explains the higher price compared to other essential oils, and also why Neroli is dosed so sparingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeroli blends beautifully with other floral oils such as jasmine, rose, ylang ylang and lavender, with woody oils such as sandalwood and cedarwood, and with other citrus oils such as bergamot and mandarin. It is a key ingredient in fine perfumery and in luxury skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is Orange Blossom Essential Oil made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeroli is extracted by steam distillation of the white blossoms of the bitter orange tree. The flowers are carefully hand-picked, often in the early morning when the scent is at its most intense. They are then exposed to steam, which releases the volatile aromatic components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike citrus oils that come from the peel, Neroli does not contain furocoumarins. The oil is therefore not phototoxic and can be used for sunlight without restriction. The same plant produces three different essential oils: Neroli (from the blossom), Petitgrain (from the leaves and twigs) and Bitter Orange (from the peel of the fruit). Each has its own aromatic profile and its own applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits of Orange Blossom Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNon-phototoxic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many other oils in the citrus family, Neroli can be worn on the skin during the day without worry.

She perfumed her gloves, scarves, bath water and even her handwritten letters with it. To honour her, orange blossom was nicknamed Neroli, a name that is still used in perfumery today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTips for using Orange Blossom Essential Oil\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore the oil in a cool, dark place. Proper storage extends the shelf life considerably.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways close the bottle tightly after use. Contact with air can cause the oil to lose its fragrance and effect more quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTest on a small area of skin before using the oil for the first time, especially if you have sensitive skin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlways work with grams and percentages, not drops. Droplets vary in size and make it difficult to stay within safe limits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeroli is a precious oil. Dose sparingly, often half a gram is enough to noticeably transform a formulation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePoints of attention and side effects\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange Blossom Essential Oil (Neroli) is not phototoxic and can therefore be used for sunlight without restriction. However, it remains important to always use the oil diluted, never pure on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOur practical working dose: 1 percent\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor homemade care, we recommend a dosage of 1 percent (1 gram per 100 grams of product). Essential oils naturally contain allergens such as limonene, linalool, and geraniol. When you combine multiple essential oils in one recipe, these allergens accumulate and you can quickly exceed the legal allergen limits. A working dose of 1 percent gives you the space to use multiple oils in one recipe without going over those limits. For neroli, an even lower dose is often sufficient due to the intensity of the aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor products that you rinse off, such as soap, shower gel or shampoo, longer maximums apply because the oil does not remain on the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot recommended for use during pregnancy without consultation with an expert. Keep out of reach of children. When in doubt or with sensitive skin, always test on a small area first and wait 24 hours before using it on larger areas.
