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 January 19, 2026
Bitter orange trees thrive in Egypt’s warm Mediterranean-to-arid climate. They require ample sunlight, mild winters, and well-drained soil. Beyond perfumery, neroli oil is used for skincare, emotional wellness, and natural fragrance applications. The strong pricing of the Egyptian variety as compared to Tunisia and Morocco has steadily increased the demand of the product since early 2025. But fluctuating climate conditions and irregular rainfall have negatively impacted the market for neroli oil in Egypt. Due to these unfavourable conditions the productivity of bitter orange trees has reduced.
Raw material supply has declined due to low flower availability, creating supply constraints and pushing the price upward. The perfume, cosmetics, and aromatherapy sectors are steadily increasing their consumption of neroli putting excessive pressure on the limited supply. Suppliers recommend that buyers should secure stocks and long-term contracts to avoid this volatile situation.
