Neroli essential oil ( Citrus aurantium var. amara ) is steam distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange trees.
Bitter orange tree is very generous because it gives three essential oils: Neroli from its flowers, Petitgrain from its leaves, and Bitter Orange from the fruit rind. It is simply amazing!
1 ton of orange blossoms produce 1 quart of oil. That’s why Neroli, like Jasmine is expensive and often adulterated.
Neroli is floral, sweet and citrusy with a long lasting aroma. It is a gorgeous oil! I once spilled a few drops on a napkin, and the aroma lasted the whole week! And I had this sense of tranquility the whole time.
Like any other expensive floral oils, too much Neroli can and will cause a headache! 
Neroli is considered an antidepressant and is vey useful in treating anxiety and nervousness. It offers strong emotional support.
Combine with Ylang Ylang, it reduces heart palpitations.
Besides its calming effect on the psyche, Neroli is often used in skin cares combined with other oils, such as Palmarosa, Lavender, Myrrh and Rosemary verbenone.
It is also antibacterial and analgesic.
I make a 10% Neroli oil diluted in organic Jojoba oil to make it more affordable. I carry it in my ETSY shop here.
Our Neroli is a precious oil, steam distilled from the flowers of bitter orange trees.
Floral, sweet and long lasting aroma.
Like Jasmine, Neroli is expensive and is often adulterated. The Neroli oil I use has been GC/MS tested to ensure that it is 100% pure. I wrote a blog about GC/MS report. You can read it here.
To make it more affordable, I dilute the oil in organic Jojoba oil.
Why Jojoba oil? Jojoba oil is a liquid wax with long, stable shelf life. Its molecular structure resembles our skin’s natural sebum. And since it is antioxidant, it actually extends the shelf life of other oils.
