Neroli is steam-distilled from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), primarily in Tunisia and Morocco. Named after an Italian princess who famously wore it as a perfume, it has a light, fresh-floral scent that bridges citrus and white florals. It is particularly valued in skin care for its cell-regenerating properties.
