We also indicate when any of the 26 fragrance allergens occur in the product above a certain limit, as required by authorities. You can find details of them below.

The fresh, uplifting herbaceous essential oil is then extracted through steam distillation.

Our neroli essential oil is extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree (citrus aurantium). It is produced from the flowers that have been hand-picked during the spring season, when they are at their most fragrant. The essential oil is extracted from the blossoms through hydro-distillation. It has a sweet, floral, and citrusy aroma with hints of bitterness and astringency.
