Did you know that two of the most captivating ingredients in perfumery come from the same flower? That’s right — both neroli essential oil and orange blossom absolute are extracted from the flower of the bitter orange tree. What makes them two distinct essences is the different ways they are extracted from the blooms (more on this below).

Neroli and orange blossom absolute are revered by perfumers and perfumistas alike for their sublime aromas and their indispensable uses in fragrance accords. Read on …

Neroli is an ethereal, sweet white floral with a radiant and mesmerizing top note and slightly green, refreshing citrus back notes. In perfumery, neroli provides a fresh yet seductive top-to-middle floral note.

A truly hypnotic and uplifting scent, neroli is considered to be an aphrodisiac. Legend has it that the hauntingly beautiful essence was named after Anne Marie Orsini, the Princess of Nerola, Italy, who in the 17th century used it to scent her gloves and bathwater.

Neroli is also useful in aromatherapy blends, where its soothing, elevating effect aids in promoting relaxation and relieving stress.

Orange blossom absolute, a middle note in perfumery, is a voluptuous white floral that’s similar in character to neroli but is warmer, headier, more full-bodied. Its intoxicating scent is lush and sultry but at the same time fresh and green, with a long-lasting radiance that helps round out heart note accords in a perfume. It’s a gorgeous note on its own as well, with a vibe that is equal parts light-hearted and sensual.

Orange blossom absolute has a beguiling indolic note — meaning, its rich, sweet aroma is laced with a slightly “dirty” or animalic undertone — that humans tend to find irresistible. This narcotic indole note contrasts beautifully with the bright, clean citrus facets of orange blossom. Like neroli, orange blossom is considered an aphrodisiac.

Neroli is obtained through steam distillation of the bloom, while orange blossom is obtained through solvent extraction. For more on these invaluable essences, check out my blog post at the link below. Cheers! — Claudia

CUSANI | Luxury Botanical Perfumes
Because True Luxury is Synthetic-Free

Today was a gorgeous day here in the Los Angeles foothills. Too nice to spend indoors with my nose to the grindstone, I put my work on hold and went roaming around Descanso Gardens. Descanso is a serene botanical oasis near my home that’s been welcoming visitors since 1953.

Today, as I wandered from the rose arbors to the oak woodlands to the fern forest, I wondered about the people whose hands had tended these gardens over the years. Who were they? Did they feel a connection to the plants they were nurturing? Were they as enthralled with the natural world and all things botanical as I am? I’m guessing yes! Their work yielded an evocative testament to the beauty and wonder of nature.
