Moroccan Neroli

Moroccan neroli, derived from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium) native to Morocco, is celebrated for its rich, floral, and subtly citrusy aroma. The scent profile of Moroccan neroli is complex and highly valued in perfumery for its sweet and honeyed top notes, with refreshing hints of green and spicy facets. Its middle notes exude a rich floralcy, redolent of orange blossoms with a slightly bitter undercurrent, which provides a unique and enchanting olfactory experience. The base notes tend to be soft and linger with a clean, light finish, often with a woody or earthy touch that grounds the fragrance. Moroccan neroli oil is extracted through a painstaking process of steam distillation, which preserves the delicate aromatic compounds of the flowers. This essential oil is often used to impart a luxurious, uplifting, and soothing quality to fragrances and skincare products, making it a favored ingredient among perfumers and aromatherapists alike.
