Neroli Essential Oil: A Practitioner’s Guide
Plant Part & Extraction
Steam distilled from the blossoms of the Bitter Orange tree (Citrus aurantium).
Pure Neroli essential oil is incredibly costly because it is highly labor intensive and the blossoms can only be harvested during a very specific time of year.
We offer:
Neroli 3% diluted in jojoba oil
Pure undiluted Neroli
Even diluted at 3%, Neroli remains extremely potent and effective.
It takes approximately 1,000 pounds of blossoms to produce just 1 pound of Neroli essential oil.

Historical Uses of Neroli Essential Oil
Ancient Egyptians used aromatic blossoms and oils for healing the mind, body, and spirit.
It is not known precisely when or where Neroli essential oil was first extracted by steam distillation, but legend states that during the 17th century in Italy, Anne Marie de la Trémoille (Orsini), Duchess of Bracciano and Princess of Nerola, introduced Neroli oil as a fashionable fragrance among high society.
She used the oil:
in baths
on stationery
on scarves
and most famously, to perfume her gloves
The fragrance became highly fashionable throughout Europe.
In 1709, Italian perfumer J.M. Farina created a famous blend containing:
neroli
bergamot
lavender
lemon
petitgrain
rosemary
He named the fragrance “Eau de Cologne,” which helped establish citrus-floral perfumery traditions still recognized today.

Its aroma is traditionally associated with:
emotional reassurance
emotional softness
calming the nervous system
comfort during grief or stress
opening the heart emotionally
Because Neroli requires enormous quantities of blossoms to produce a small amount of oil, it has historically been regarded as one of the most precious and luxurious aromatic substances in the world.
