Neroli Essential Oil 50ml Pure Orange Blossom

A 50 ml bottle of pure neroli essential oil, water-distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium) grown in Tunisia. Neroli is valued in aromatherapy for its calming, citrus-floral scent and is a staple in skincare blending for its reputation in supporting skin renewal. What This Oil Brings A bright, citrus-floral scent that sits between bergamot and fresh orange blossom — complex enough to use on its own in a diffuser, and blends well with lavender, sandalwood, or other citrus oils.

Widely used by aromatherapists working with clients who experience tension or restlessness, particularly in evening sessions or wind-down routines. A popular choice for facial oil formulations, where practitioners value neroli for its gentle profile on sensitive and mature skin types. Professional 50 ml volume gives you far more working material than standard 5-10 ml bottles, making it practical for regular blending or treatment use.

Water-distilled rather than steam-distilled, because the orange blossoms are too delicate for higher heat. This gentler process preserves more of the flower's nuanced scent. Tunisian Orange Blossom, Water-Distilled Neroli oil comes from the flowers of the bitter orange tree.

The blossoms are gathered by hand and must be picked just as they open — timing matters because the scent profile changes as the flowers mature. Water distillation is used instead of steam because the petals are fragile. The resulting oil is pale yellow, light in texture, and carries a scent that is simultaneously citrus, floral, and faintly honeyed.

Each bottle is 50 ml, weighing approximately 110 g. Working with Neroli For diffusing, 3-5 drops in water is enough for a small room. For topical use, dilute 2-3 drops in 10 ml of carrier oil — jojoba and rosehip are common pairings for facial application.

Neroli also works well in a warm bath: add a few drops to a carrier oil or bath dispersant before adding to water, as essential oils do not dissolve in water on their own. Store away from direct light and heat. A Scent with History The name "neroli" traces back to 17th-century Italy.

Anna Maria Orsini, the princess of Nerola, reportedly used bitter orange blossom essence to scent her gloves and baths, and the oil became known by her title. Orange blossoms have a long tradition in Mediterranean cultures as part of wedding celebrations. Today, neroli remains one of the more prized oils in perfumery and aromatherapy, partly because of its complex scent and partly because of the labour-intensive harvest.

Sourcing and Size This neroli oil is sourced from Tunisia, one of the traditional growing regions for Citrus aurantium. Tunisia's warm, dry climate and coastal proximity produce conditions well-suited to bitter orange cultivation. The oil is pure and undiluted — a professional-grade product.

Common Questions What does neroli essential oil smell like compared to regular orange oil? Neroli is made from the flowers, not the fruit peel. It smells more floral and complex — less like fresh orange juice and more like walking past a blooming orange grove.

Is neroli essential oil safe for sensitive skin? Neroli is generally considered gentle, but all essential oils must be diluted before skin application. Do a patch test with your chosen carrier oil and wait 24 hours before broader use.

Why is neroli oil more expensive than many other essential oils? The blossoms must be hand-picked at precisely the right moment of bloom, and the water distillation process is slow and yields a small quantity of oil relative to the volume of flowers used.
