Neroli Essential Oil is derived from the delicate flowers of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara), often referred to as Neroli bigarade. Its enchanting aroma resembles that of bergamot and is cherished for both its delightful scent and therapeutic benefits. The blossoms are meticulously harvested by hand, and the essential oil is extracted using water distillation, as the fragile flowers cannot withstand steam distillation.
This exquisite essential oil is renowned for its calming properties, helping to alleviate chronic anxiety, fear, and stress. It is also believed to soothe conditions such as intestinal spasms, colitis, and diarrhoea. Thanks to its sedative qualities, Neroli oil can provide relief for those suffering from insomnia, heart palpitations, neuralgia, and vertigo. Heating it in an oil burner creates a serene atmosphere, making it ideal for a convalescent’s room.
On the skin, Neroli oil is prized for its ability to regenerate skin cells, reduce the appearance of scar tissue, promote smoother skin, and combat stretch marks and broken capillaries. Its historical significance is noteworthy; it is said that the Romans used this oil, and in 1680, Anna Maria Orsini, the Princess of Nerola, famously infused her gloves and bath with the essence of the bitter orange tree, popularising this luxurious fragrance. Folk tales even suggest that orange blossoms were used to adorn bridal beds, promoting relaxation for newlyweds.
With its intricate production process, which requires careful harvesting of blossoms at the peak of their bloom, Neroli oil stands out as a truly luxurious and cherished essential oil.
