Perfumer's Notes

Neroli essential oil is produced by steam distilling the flowers of the bitter orange tree. (Orange flower absolute is produced from the same flowers with a different method, resulting in a different scent.) It is more floral and less green than petit grain which is produced from the tree's twigs and leaves. Neroli has a delicate aroma that starts out slightly green and bitter and becomes more sweet and floral.
