Neroli is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of fresh bitter orange blossoms. It has a floral, fresh scent with a slightly green, almost citrusy note.

The difference lies in the extraction method and the aroma concentration:

• Neroli is extracted through distillation, giving it a fresh, sparkling fragrance.
• Orange Blossom, often in absolute form, is softer, warmer, and sweeter.

• Neroli smells like a freshly cut white blossom, with a slightly citrusy edge.
• Orange Blossom has a more gourmand, tender, and comforting aroma.

Orange Blossom is well-known for:

• Soothing the mind and easing stress (used in infusions or floral waters).
• Naturally perfuming the skin and hair.
• Adding a subtle sweetness to Mediterranean pastries.

Neroli, the essential oil extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (Bigarade orange), is highly renowned for its numerous benefits, both for emotional well-being and for the skin.

• Soothing & Anti-stress: It helps to calm anxiety, stress, and promotes relaxation.
• Skin Regenerating: It helps to revitalize the skin and improve its radiance.
• Emotional Harmonizer: It helps to rebalance emotions and the nervous system.

Yes! Orange Blossom water is made from the same blossom (from the bitter orange tree). It’s distilled to a lighter concentration, making it perfect for culinary or cosmetic use.

In the Mediterranean, Orange Blossom is a true treasure:

• It’s added to traditional pastries.
• It scents floral waters for a refreshing face mist,
• And, of course, it’s at the heart of local perfumery.
