SOURCE: Hydro distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree.
COLOUR: Clear pale yellow.
ORIGIN: Tunisia
AROMA: exquisite light floral, slight nutty under tone, characteristic of the fresh flowers
QUALITIES: Antidepressant. calming and soothing during times of stress , helps restore sleep. Ideal for skin care, especially mature/dry types.
Used as an ingredient in eau de cologne and perfume: An ingredient in one of our luxury creams. We also have a hydrolat ( floral water) of neroli which is wonderful as a skin toner and conditioner. One kilo of blossoms yields about 1 ml of oil.
Not to be mistaken for the cheaper orange blossom oil which does not have the nutty flavour.

{Between April and aug 2006 we did not supply Neroli due to not finding a suitable quality.
Most Neroli on the market now is being adulterated by adding limonene and linalool.
Limonene is usually between 10 to 19%
Linalool is usually between 31 to 41%
Nerolidol is usually between 1.4 to 5.6%
Linalool Natural sells at USD 30-00 kilo, Limonene Natural at USD 2-50 kilo, Alpha Pinene at pennies.
Put them all together and you got a very profitable situation.
Naphalene perfume catalyst) (should be 0%), Benzyl alcohol (should be 0%), and ethanol showing it is a pretty bad concoction, waste of time.}
