Neroli / Citrus Aurantium
Also known as Seville orange, the bitter orange tree belongs to the large citrus family. With white aromatic flowers and flattened orange fruits, which are acidic yet edible, this tree is historically famous for its decorative, culinary and therapeutic qualities. In particular, the flower of the bitter orange tree is used to produce the Neroli flower water and essential oil, both prized in aromatherapy for their calming power. It is thanks to Anne-Marie de la Trémoille, Princess of Nerola, a village near Rome, that the essence of Neroli earned its name and popularity in the 17th century, as she used it to perfume her gloves, clothes and baths.
With a sweet and refreshing floral fragrance, the Neroli hydrosol is thus mainly appreciated for its soothing, rebalancing and toning virtues. A real must-have, its use is also ideal for promoting calm and relaxation. In cooking, its aromas will bring a sweet touch to honey- or almond-based desserts, oriental-style dishes, fruit juices or infusions, for instance. Cosmetic-wise, the Neroli floral water is known to illuminate the complexion as well as refresh, renew and soothe the skin.
