About this product


Neroli is a love affair that can grow expensive. Petitgrain Sur Fleurs, petitgrain on flowers, came as a total surprise: like Neroli, but lighter. Neroli lite, if you like, and proof that romance and sensibility can coexist.

Its making is unusual, a little distillation and a little absolute. In traditional enfleurage, petals are laid between layers of purified animal fat until the fat is saturated with flower oil, and alcohol then draws out the absolute. Here the enfleurage is done without alcohol: steam-distilled petitgrain takes its place in drawing out the oil of the blossoms, so the oil contains none of the solvents used for most absolutes, and its composition is comparable to a Neroli or orange blossom distillation.

On first breath, balance is the word that comes to mind, a grounding sense of calm.
