Neroli Essential Oil
Neroli Essential Oil
Neroli Essential Oil (Citrus aurantium var. amara)
Neroli Essential Oil (Citrus aurantium var. amara) is steam distilled from the fragrant blossoms of the bitter orange tree, producing a pale yellow to amber liquid with a powerful, sweet-terpeney, uplifting citrus-floral aroma. Long treasured in perfumery and aromatherapy, it's prized for its calming, elegant character.
In aromatherapy, Neroli is widely used to help ease everyday tension and encourage a sense of calm, making it a popular choice for diffusers, massage blends, and evening self-care rituals.
In skincare, Neroli is valued for mature or sensitive skin types, often included in facial oils, creams and lotions designed to support a refreshed, healthy-looking complexion.
Its elegant floral-citrus character also makes Neroli a signature ingredient in fine perfumery, soaps and luxury wellness products, adding sophistication and depth to fragrance blends.
This one deserves a little extra care: Neroli Essential Oil is a flammable liquid, may be fatal if swallowed and enters the airways, and is a skin and eye irritant and sensitiser. Dilute before topical use, patch test first, and never ingest.
