About this product
Some evenings ask for a scent that softens the edges of the day. Nerolina is that kind of oil: sweet, faintly floral, calming and quietly uplifting, an Australian leaf that seems to have wandered into a flower garden.
It comes from the same tree as our Niaouli, Melaleuca quinquenervia, but from a different chemotype, and the two are as different as night and day. Niaouli is rich in 1,8-cineole; Nerolina holds very little. Instead it is high in linalol, the note you know from Lavender, and in nerolidol, a component also found in Neroli, Jasmine and Lavender. The result is one of the sweetest scented of all Australian leaf oils.
Details
- Botanical name: Melaleuca quinquenervia ct. nerolidol
- Plant part: organically grown leaves
- Method: steam distillation
- Origin: Australia
How to use
Blend it with any of the floral oils, or let a few drops round off the more medicinal aromas of other Australian oils. It is believed to be nontoxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing; even so, dilute it in a carrier oil before it touches your skin, and keep it out of reach of children.
A tender green oil for the hours that need softening.
