Neroli Essential Oil

Neroli essential oil is one of the most exquisite and emotionally uplifting floral distillations in the world. Steam distilled from the delicate blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara), this precious oil embodies both serenity and vitality — a scent at once floral, citrusy, and softly green. Its fragrance is ethereal and radiant, evoking the freshness of spring air and the quiet joy of sunlight through petals.

Prized since the 17th century when the Princess of Nerola in Italy popularised its use in perfumery, Neroli has become a timeless symbol of purity, comfort, and sensual grace. In aromatherapy, it is revered for its ability to soothe anxiety, uplift the spirit, and support skin regeneration.
