In cosmetics and aromatherapy, neroli is especially valued for its soothing, skin-restoring and moisturising properties. Suitable for evening rituals – sprays, baths, massage blends and diffusers. Its aroma provides a sense of harmony, luxury and inner peace.

Use in perfumery: neroli oil is one of the classic perfumery materials used in "Maria Farina", "4711" and other colognes. It blends beautifully with all citrus oils and floral absolutes. After rose, jasmine and ylang ylang, neroli is probably one of the most frequently used flowers in perfume making.

Neroli essential oil (Citrus aurantium var. amara) – a luxurious and highly valued perfumery ingredient, extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. Its aroma is exceptionally rich: uplifting, fresh, sweet, intense, with rich white floral notes, a green spiciness and a subtle fruity accent.

Neroli is famous for its captivating uniqueness, which contains barely perceptible indole notes – subtle, yet adding sensuality to the fragrance. Extracting this precious oil is difficult – from 1 kg of flowers only about 1 ml of oil is obtained, making every drop extremely precious.

The bitter orange tree also gives orange blossom absolute, petitgrain oil and cold-pressed essential oil from the peel. Thanks to its composition, neroli blends perfectly with other floral, citrus and herbal aromas and is often used in the top notes of perfumes.

SAFETY!

Pregnancy: Neroli can be safely used even by pregnant women, and is especially recommended in oil blends for stretch marks.

The golden rule of aromatherapy – less is more, i.e. essential oils work better in small doses.
