Neroli (Orange flower): Citrus aurantium var amara

Equally accomplished in perfumery and regenerative skincare.

Neroli is a singularly precious essential oil, with a low yield. Only the fresh petals are used in the extraction process and fortunately the resulting essential oil is so potent that a lower dilution still has a strong effect. Tinderbox has made this premium aroma tool affordable by diluting it 5:100 in certified organic jojoba oil and it is suitable for use as you would other essential oils or neat on the skin as a perfume.

Aroma: Top or Base, depending on blend. It will add depth and heart to any blend that needs a floral that is not a top-note. Play with its sensual/sexual quality when creating heady, bold and rich perfumes, where it will act as a fixative. A traditional eau-de-cologne recipe combines neroli with lavender, lemon, rosemary and bergamot.

Perfume: Sweet, floral somewhat citrusy aroma both fresh and alluring.
