Description
Neroli essential oil is steam distilled from the fragrant blossoms of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium var. amara, sourced from Tunisia. It has a powerful, sweet, uplifting citrus-floral aroma and acts as an elegant middle note.
Long treasured for its refined scent, Neroli is traditionally associated in aromatherapy with easing everyday tension and encouraging a sense of calm, making it a lovely choice for evening diffuser blends and a peaceful atmosphere at home. It pairs beautifully with florals, citrus and soft woods. It is a skin and eye irritant and a skin sensitiser, so keep it well diluted and patch test first.

- Traditionally associated with calm and easing everyday tension
