The perfume of orange blossoms stole up to me, and like the wave beats and at first blended with them, the fresh, pure tones of a woman's voice pulsed the air. The odor, the sound drew me downward; I let myself sink to a stately marble chateau that gleamed white in a grove of cypresses. The singer's voice streamed out of the wide- set windows, the water washed softly under the very walls of the building, and just opposite, completely mantled with orange and laurel shrubs, flooded with moonlight and tricked with many a fair statue and slender column, a round high island rose from the water's lap.
Neroli Absolute is distilled from the fragile petals of orange blossoms. Neroli is a delicate, high floral note which is deeply relaxing. Neroli gently eases fear, insomnia, depression, and grief. It nourishes and replenishes the skin and is a favorite among Estheticians. Due to its powerful hormone regulating qualities, Neroli is used to ease the hot flashes and night sweats associated with menopause.
Neroli first came to prominence in the Far East and was later introduced to the West by Arabian traders.
It made it to the Mediterranean region of Spain by the 12th century and plantations soon appeared here and in other nearby countries with a suitable climate. These plantations were cultivated to produce the essential oil. The oil was soon in high demand and became extremely popular with the great and the not so good of the time including several royal families around Europe.
It was worn to scent of clothing such as gloves, not only giving a beautiful aroma but also acting to calm the nerves. For this reason the blossom was often included in the bouquets carried by brides in Europe. It was also used to decorate the hair of brides and was placed next to the marital bed to proclaim their virginity and calm any wedding nerves. This tradition still continues today in parts of southern Europe.
In modern times Neroli is used to flavor many pharmaceuticals, foods and drinks. The absolute is commonly found in the higher end perfumes, eau du colognes and toilet waters.
