Neroli is steam-distilled from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium)— also known as the Seville orange.

Like Rose, Jasmine, and Melissa essential oils, Neroli is a highly precious floral oil because of high labor and low yield. Each tiny neroli blossom must be handpicked at the correct time in its flowering cycle and quickly steam-distilled to extract the essential oil. It takes 40 pounds of freshly picked blossoms to create one 15 mL bottle of pure Neroli!

Neroli Touch boasts many impressive benefits. It’s specially formulated with Fractionated Coconut Oil to provide you with a positive, calming aroma when applied topically. Neroli Touch also has beautifying and skin-soothing benefits.

Aromatically: Apply to the pulse points throughout the day to take an uplifting scent with you wherever you go.

Topically: When used topically, Neroli Touch can soothe the skin, making it a great addition to your skincare routine. You can also enjoy it as a personal fragrance by combining it with floral, wood, or citrus oils.

The sweet, calming scent of Neroli Touch is perfect for when life doesn’t go as planned or is stressful. Apply it before your next test, presentation, or busy day for a supportive aroma. Life is full of twists and turns, but with Neroli Touch you don’t have to face them alone.

If your skin needs a little TLC, Neroli Touch fits fantastically into a skincare routine. And because it’s a dōTERRA Touch® product, it’s easy to apply to blemishes mess-free.

The bitter orange tree, which produces neroli, is native to East Asia. However, it’s been growing in Egypt since it was introduced in the tenth century.

The bitter orange tree is a resilient evergreen. At least three essential oils can come from the bitter orange tree: bitter orange from the fruit peel, petitgrain from the twigs and leaves, and neroli from the flower blossoms. Neroli blossoms are carefully handpicked in the spring.

Layer Your Floral Oils

Have you ever noticed a perfume can smell dramatically different on others? That’s because everyone has a distinct body chemistry that reacts uniquely to fragrances to create a personalized perfume.

You don’t have to be a perfumer to create a fragrance for yourself. By combining and layering pure essential oils, you can create a pure-fume that perfectly expresses you!

Every pure-fume contains a root note, a heart note, and a crown note (also known as base, mid, and top notes). The combination of these notes creates an aroma that’s complete and harmonious.

If you want to create your own pure-fume, here are a few tips:

Start with a root note.

These notes are foundational to your personal fragrance. They’re usually earthy and woody and tend to last longer. Essential oils commonly used as root notes are Myrrh, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Ylang Ylang, Frankincense, and Cedarwood.

Add a heart note.

These notes are the scents at the center of your perfume. Floral oils often make great heart notes. Some wonderful options include Lavender, Jasmine, Geranium, Neroli, Peppermint, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Blue Lotus, and Magnolia.

Finish with a crown note.

These notes are the lightest and most noticeable aromas in your composition. They’re the first scents you smell. Without beautiful crown notes, your fragrance is incomplete. They include citrus oils such as Lime, Grapefruit, Wild Orange, Bergamot, as well as others such as Spearmint, Lemongrass, and Petitgrain.
