Description
Neroli comes from the bitter orange trees, whose blossoms are picked and must immediately be put to distillation to avoid decay due to the delicacy of the flowers. Typically the blossoms are distilled first, producing Neroli essential oil. Egyptian Neroli obtained through steam distillation, from fresh flowers of Citrus aurantium, member of Rutaceae family, pale yellow in colour, having characteristic floral, fresh, green notes. Neroli, widely used in perfumery, is also known to have soothing aromatherapeutic properties.
The bitter orange tree is relatively small, standing four to seven meters high, with bright-green foliage that, come springtime, is interspersed with a plethora of white, waxy flowers containing the intoxicating essence of orange blossom.
It has beautiful floral notes that soothes, relaxes and uplifts the spirits and helps maintain confidence. It has an exquisite aroma, perfect for skin care oil, mature and sensitive skin. It also works wonders on scars and stretch marks. It is also believed to relieve tension, stress and anxiety. Neroli Morocco oil also helps in cases of insomnia and depression. Their antispasmodic action promotes a calming effect on the intestines and can be helpful with colitis and diarrhoea. It blends well with Citrus oils, Jasmine, Rose, and Sandalwood oil.

Latest Market Information September 11, 2025
Neroli is extracted from the blossoms of bitter orange. Egypt’s Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters provides favourable conditions for its growth. The trees flourish in well-drained soils under full sun, supporting high aromatic oil yield. Harvesting of the oil is a labour-intensive process as it requires hand-picking of flowers in spring. This is immediately followed by steam or hydro-distillation to preserve the delicate aromatic profile. Neroli oil’s fragrance is valued in perfumery where its sweet, honeyed, slightly metallic floral scent blends excellently with citrus and floral absolutes. Certain farmers have moved away from Neroli and planted other crops.
Price of flowers has increased as well. Both factors have led to an increase in oil price.
