Try Bitter Orange essential oil as a replacement for the more expensive Neroli. Neroli comes from the blossoms of the Bitter Orange tree.
Bitter Orange Botanical name Citrus aurantium/ Extraction Method: Cold Pressed Parts Used: the peel of the almost ripe fruit
Bitter Orange oil is very unusual, fresh and yet 'bitter' in the sense of 'dry,' but with a rich and lasting, sweet undertone. An oil sure to lift your spirits and make you smile. A wonderful oil to calm nervousness. There are notes that which may remind you of bergamot, grapefruit and sweet orange, but overall, the odor is distinctly different from that of other citrus oils. It is a different type of freshness, a peculiar floral undertone which occasionally shows indolic notes and a comparatively good intensity.
Bitter Orange oil is used extensively in flavors where it forms the main ingredient in the 'orange sec' or 'triple sec' liqueur flavors. Blends well with and Lavender, Rosemary, Clary sage, Oakmoss and Lavendin
Orange oil blends well with spicy oils like Coriander and Cinnamon, also with Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Neroli and other citrus oils. The best oil comes from organically grown fruit as chemical pesticides are passed along through the cold pressing of the peel.
Cautions: Photosensitizing Do not use on skin before going out in sun or tanning booth
