Precious and subtle, it gives off floral and sweet aromas, typical of orange blossom and recognisable by all.

Our opinion

As is often the case with flowers, the distillation yield is low. Great finesse and high cost... this essential oil remains a "must" in aromatherapy! Its presentation, diluted and in the form of a roll-on, is also available. Especially practical and advantageous, Neroli essential oil is thus accessible to all budgets.

Do not confuse it with the essential oil of Petitgrain, obtained from the leafy branches of the same plant, or with the essence of bitter orange, obtained from the zest of its fruit.

  • Not recommended in the first trimester of pregnancy or in young children.
  • As it tends to be irritating in its pure state, be sure to dilute it sufficiently for cutaneous use. It should be applied only occasionally and not excessively.
  • Risk of allergy (limonene, linalool, geraniol, farnesol): take care not to overdose in mixtures. An elbow test is recommended prior to any skin application (min 48 hours before use).
