Neroli Absolute

Neroli (Orange Blossom) Absolute(Citrus aurantium var. amara)
Introduction
Neroli Absolute, also known as Orange Blossom Absolute, is one of the most precious and luxurious floral essences in perfumery. Extracted from the delicate blossoms of the bitter orange tree, it carries a rich, intoxicating floral aroma with honeyed, green, and citrus undertones. While Neroli essential oil (produced by steam distillation) is light, airy, and sparkling, Neroli Absolute (solvent extraction) is deeper, warmer, and more sensual , making it ideal for fine perfumery. At Herbsmetics, we feature Neroli Absolute in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests experience its captivating floral beauty and timeless elegance .
