The oil of neroli is produced from the fragrant white blossoms of the bitter orange tree. Bitter orange is an evergreen citrus tree native to asia. Neroli was named in 1680 when the princess of nerole perfumed her gloves, stationery, shawls and bathwater with the scent. For centuries, neroli has been added to cosmetic preparations, colognesand perfumes. Today it is one of the ingredients in eau de cologne, a classic cologne. There are significant variations in the aroma of neroli depending on the country of origin and the distillation methods and procedures. Ideally the flowers alone are distilled very near or at the point of harvest. France, italy and tunisia are the leading producers of neroli in terms of both quality and volume.
