What Neroli Essential Oil Is
Neroli essential oil is steam distilled from the delicate white blossoms of the bitter orange tree. Highly prized for centuries, neroli has long been associated with calm, emotional healing, and gentle luxury. Because a large number of blossoms are required to produce a small amount of oil, neroli is considered one of the more precious essential oils.
Its soft floral-citrus aroma is both uplifting and deeply soothing, making neroli especially valued for emotional balance, stress relief, and skin care. Neroli supports the nervous system without being sedating, offering calm clarity rather than heaviness.
