Neroli (Lebanon)

Neroli from Lebanon is a fresh and floral fragrance note with a bright, citrusy scent profile that carries subtle green and slightly honeyed undertones. Its aroma is delicate, uplifting, and elegant, adding a refined and natural quality to perfumes. Lebanese neroli imparts a soft, luminous character and is often used as a top or middle note to bring freshness and lightness to fragrance compositions. It pairs beautifully with woody, musky, and fruity notes, contributing to fragrances that are timeless, sophisticated, and full of charm.

History & Production: Neroli is derived from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), cultivated in Lebanon for its aromatic and therapeutic qualities. The essential oil is extracted through steam distillation of the freshly picked flowers, preserving their fresh and floral essence. In perfumery, Lebanese neroli is prized for its ability to add a vibrant, citrus-floral depth that enhances the brightness and elegance of fragrances, evoking a sense of Mediterranean beauty and serenity.
