Emerald Oils creates Dilutes so that some of our precious essential oils can be enjoyed at a more affordable price. This Neroli essential oil is a 10% dilution in fractionated coconut oil. (Fractionated Coconut Oil does not go rancid, has no aroma, and is non-greasy.) Dilutes may be applied directly to the skin.
This Neroli Dilute comes in a 10ml glass bottle.
Neroli is extracted from the blossoms of the Seville Orange Tree originally grown in Tunisia. Neroli does not al all smell like the fruit the blossoms become, but rather a deep and romantic floral scent known worldwise as expensive perfume.
Bitter Orange groves were cultivated across countries in North Africa, and then later in France – but the name “Neroli” is widely believed to have come from a 16th Century town named Nerola, in Italy.
The Perfume Society describes Neroli's scent as “Airy, citrussy, green, but with whispers of honey and orange bubbling subtly underneath…It’s extracted by steam distillation of freshly-picked flowers, which must be a gorgeous task."
Historically, Neroli was known to be used by princes and princesses in Ancient Egypt and I always wonder why it is not mentioned by name in the bible!
As a beautifully scented natural sedative, Neroli is one of the best essential oils to reach for when fighting anxiety. Thank you YHWH for giving us all we need in your creation!
