Neroli epitomizes the fragrant essence of being in love, the sweet excitement of a romantic encounter under a full moon. It is the sweet scent of nymphs beckoning to venture out into the night, to celebrate the beauty of love and life as an act of worship in honour of the Great Goddess of Love. Neroli oil, derived from the delicate flowers of the bitter orange tree, is romantic and playful, sensuous and teasing. Like a fountain of youth, it refreshes mind and spirit while tantalizing the senses. For aeons these qualities have made Neroli one of the most popular aphrodisiac scents in perfumes and cosmetics. It is a key ingredient of 'Eau de Cologne' as well as dozens of high class perfumes. The scent was apparently popularized by the passion of a young princess, who loved it so much that she perfumed everything in her surroundings with this alluring fragrance. Neroli awakens sensuality and helps to untie emotional knots. In Mediterranean countries Orange flowers are often woven into bridal wreath to prepare the bride for the wedding night.
