## About
An orange grove in flower at dusk, the air so sweet it seems to hold the light. Neroli is that hour in a bottle: a wonderful blend of floral with undertones of citrus, sparkling fresh, calming and uplifting at once.It is steam-distilled from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium var. amara, organically produced in Egypt. Much of what is sold as pure or true neroli seems to be a co-distillation of leaves and blossoms, and the green petitgrain note usually comes through. This one is distilled from blossoms only, a magnificent specimen, lovely on its own or blended with rose, bergamot and the other citrus oils. In skin care it is valued for helping balance both oily and dry skin.DetailsBotanical name: Citrus aurantium var. amaraOrigin: EgyptMethod: Steam-distilled flowers onlyGrowing: Organically producedBlends with: all citrus oils, Clary Sage, Geranium, Jasmine, Frankincense, Sandalwood, Petitgrain, Rose, Lavender, Patchouli, Vetiver and Ylang YlangShelf life: about 1 to 2 years after openingHow to useEnjoy it on its own, or blend it into skin care and personal perfumes.
