Botanical Name: Citrus aurantium amara

Plant Part: Flowers

Extraction Method: Steam Distilled

Description: Neroli Essential Oil is derived from the blossoms of either the sweet orange tree or the bitter orange tree. Our variety comes from the bitter orange tree which is viewed within the aromatherapy world as being of higher therapeutic quality.

Color: Dark greenish yellow liquid.

Common Uses: Neroli Essential Oil increases circulation and stimulates new cell growth. It can prevent scarring and stretch marks, and has been found useful in treating skin conditions linked to emotional stress. Any type of skin can benefit from this oil, although it is particularly good for dry, irritated or sensitive skin. It regulates oiliness and minimizes enlarged pores. Neroli Oil helps to clear acne and blemished skin, especially if the skin lacks moisture. With regular treatment, it can reduce the appearance of fragile or broken capillaries and varicose veins. Other properties include being antidepressant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, carminative, cordial, deodorant, digestive, stimulant (nervous) and tonic (cardiac, circulatory).

Consistency: Medium

Note: Middle

Strength of Aroma: Strong

Blends well with: Lavender, Lemon, Clary Sage, Myrrh and spice oils such as Nutmeg, Cinnamon Bark and Clove Bud.

Aromatic Scent: Neroli Essential Oil has a sweet, floral citrus aroma. Many aromatherapists refer to Neroli as an exotic and exquisite essential oil.

History: Though Bitter Orange Essential Oil has been around for centuries, Neroli Essential Oil wasn’t discovered until the seventeenth century. It was named after Anna Maria de la Tremoille, princess of Nerola. The oils properties were extremely valued by the people of Venice who used it against plague and fevers.

Cautions: This oil is non-toxic and non-sensitizing. Avoid use during pregnancy.

I bought this forgetting I had a 5mL of 20% in Jojoba oil from a different company, but for the price of the 15mL bottle whatever right. Well smelling the 2 there is a significant difference! The ND 3% is much nicer, lighter and cleaner smelling than the 20%! I paid 4x the price for 1/3 the quantity and the quality overall definitely favors ND's oil. I find that even tho there 20% in the other oil it's the Jojoba you smell more. I am very pleased with my mistake and have found a new Neroli oil for my cabinet! I would love to smell what a 20% ND Neroli would smell like!

I bought this dilution never having smelled neroli, and am so glad that I did! It is surprisingly strong, fresh and citrusy. It is wonderfully complex, with floral, fruit, and earthy aromas. I love the scent and I love the price!

I am a little surprised with this Neroli mixture. I have smelled orange blossoms in Florida & this oil smells nothing like the sweet, floral orange blossoms that I'm used to. It doesn't smell bad. It just has a strong, woody scent which reminds me of the Whole Foods grocery chain. Even a co-worker of mine said that it smells like you've just walked into Whole Foods. I've mixed it with lavender & I think it works well together. In all, I like it, but still am looking for that true Florida orange blossom.

I feel somewhat strange saying this, but I cannot tell the difference between the aroma of the 3% and pure Neroli oil. In all fairness, I'm not a huge fan of Neroli in he first place. I've always felt it was too overpowering to the point of giving me a headache. My husband is the one who loves it. That being said, this is a great product. My husband does not notice the difference either. To satisfy my husbands need for Neroli and my need for earthy/spicy aroma, I mix this with a bit of clove oil and we are both happy. Now that I have switched to the 3%, I can keep the Neroli flowing without spending as much. Maybe I will buy something for myself and not tell him. :)~ Thanks ND!

I bought this dilution on a whim because the description sounded wonderful and the price was right. True to form, ND did not disappoint!! This is a lovely, strong, floral scent. Very fresh, and intoxicating. I've used it in lotions and mp soaps with excellent results.

Truly stunning scent! Neroli has been described as the light at the end of the tunnel. It certainly lifts the spirits, and it smells heavenly. The dilution is still quite strong enough to scent with. Wonderful!

I use this as a moisturizer and it works well. The jojoba oil is perfect for the skin and then I get the added bonus of smelling like neroli. It is a favorite of mine. I will buy more, I think I'm in love.

This is a wonderful way to get true Neroli scent in an affordable way. The fragrance is as fresh and bright a smelling the flower. I use Neroli in several creams and sugar scrubs, and even though this is a 3% dilution, the scent comes through sweet and clear. Love it!

Love Neroli and the 3% dilution made it possible for me to experience the real thing instead of the fragrance oil (which I love to but wanted natural) I think I'm keeping this for myself though I don't like sharing.

I'm extremely impressed with this dilution. It is *strong,* much stronger than I expected, and there's no question that it is a real, fine neroli. Great lasting power, too. I can't believe the price-per-aromatic-strength ratio of this dilution. It's incredible! And incredibly affordable. A great buy, and I suspect I'll soon be coming back to pick up a larger quantity.

I never could afford Neroli oil before I saw this product. Because it was only a 3% dilution and very reasonably priced, I had my doubts about how strong the scent would be when I ordered, and was VERY pleased with the product. I use it in my "making natural perfumes" class and when a recipe calls for neroli, i just use the dilution and it works very well. Neroli has always been one of my favorite oils, but due to the cost I've always admired it from afar, but not anymore. Thanks new directions for these wonderful dilutions of expensive oils at amazing prices. ! All your 3% dilutions that I've ordered (jasmine - both kinds, chamomile, sandalwood, rose, etc.) have all been fantastic and I recommend you to all my students!
