Description
ORANGE BLOSSOM IN PERFUMERY
The flower of femininity
The orange blossom was first cultivated in Grasse, before being grown in Tunisia, Morocco and Egypt. It is so delicate that its buds are hand-picked, one by one. After being processed into essential oil called "neroli", absolute of orange blossom or floral water, it is a beloved product by both perfumers and pastry chefs. The scent of the essence is bright, refreshing and green, while the absolute is warm, honeyed and animalistic. The aroma of orange blossom is very feminine, evoking childhood memories and the freshness of a summer afternoon. Learn more about this extraordinary flower in the context of botany, history, art, gastronomy, agriculture, chemistry and of course, perfumery.
