Profile
Holmes describes Neroli oil as “…promoting clarity, sensitivity and space,” and further describes it as “enhancing the lightness of being.” (Holmes P. Neroli – The lightness of being. The International Journal of Aromatherapy. 1995 7(2): 14-17.)
Citrus aurantium ssp. amara is a wonderful evergreen tree responsible for producing Neroli Essential Oil from its flowers, Bitter Orange Essential Oil from its fruit and Petitgrain Essential Oil from the leaves & twigs. As Neroli Essential Oil is slightly water-soluble, the water remaining after the distillation contains traces of Neroli Oil. This is available as Orange Flower Water. The tree features long and very fragrant flowers which morph into abundant fruits, lasting for months. Neroli is a pale-yellow mobile oil which tends to become darker with age. Named for an Italian Princess, Neroli Essential Oil has a fresh, dry, almost floral aroma with a rich, sweet, undertone.
If you are lucky enough to live in Marrakech, Morocco when the Bitter Tree blossoms, you can view one of Mother Nature’s most amazing botanical gifts displayed among the private gardens, public places & along the streets. This wonderful tree is also responsible for producing Neroli Essential Oil from its flowers, Petitgrain Essential Oil from the leaves & twigs, as well as Orange Flour Water.
For those of you who would like to enjoy the exquisite aroma and wonderful properties of AUROMA Neroli Essential Oil at a more affordable price, you can find it right here on-line at The Aromatherapy Place as a 5% dilution in Jojoba. The high cost of this essential oil is largely due to the substantial volume of natural product required in the distillation process. It takes a crop of 450 to 700 tons of Tunisian flowers, only which 1 ton of which, if distilled, can produce 1 – 1.2 Kg of Neroli Essential Oil.
The Aromatherapy Place offers AUROMA Neroli, Bitter Orange & Petitgrain essential oils. Over time, treat yourself to a special sensual experience by trying and comparing the qualities of each.

AUROMA QUALITY
AUROMA Essential Oils are the highest quality essential oils available in the world today. Each oil is from an individual farmer and from a particular year’s harvest. As AUROMA knows each of the Farmers, they guarantee the authenticity of each oil. Just to be certain, they analyze each oil using the latest state-of-the-art GC-MS technology, which can detect impurities to one part per billion. Yes! AUROMA represents the best there is in Essential Oils. We can supply the following documentation: Certificates of Analysis and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
To meet the stringent demands of the professional aromatherapist, AUROMA has drafted the following seven requirements that an essential oil needs to meet so it can be used with confidence:
- BIO-TYPE: Not only does an oil have to come from a defined botanical species, but from a particular genetic strain.
- CHEMO-TYPE: The same botanical species can often produce completely different constituents.
- GEO-TYPE: Oils from a particular area are often of superior quality. Examples are Rose Oil Bulgarian or Sandalwood East Indian.
- COMPLETE OR WHOLE: The oil should come from a single distillation and should not be rectified.
- WILD OR ORGANIC: Where possible, AUROMA always selects the wild growing plants for distillation. When wild types are not available, AUROMA commissions farmers who do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Certified Organic options are available.
- EX STILL: AUROMA distills small lots of expensive oils in-house and advises farmers on distillation methods.
- ANALYYSIS: Oils are tested by AUROMA in Australia with the most advanced state-of- the-art equipment in the world.
