This oil is believed to be named after a princess of Nerola in Italy, who wore the essential oil as a fragrance. The flowers were also used in bridal bouquets to calm and soothe nervous apprehensions. The infusion of the dried flowers has also been used in Europe as a mild stimulant. The distillation water, known as Orange flower water is commonly used in cosmetics. Blends with all essential oils and particularly useful in flower water for all skin types to soothe, freshen and heal. Neroli is also reputed to have an aphrodisiac effect due to its ability to help to calm and soothe nervous tension. In Aromatherapy may be used in the treatment of shock and anxiety. Used in massage blends and vaporizers.
