Orange Blossom Absolute

Botanical name

Citrus aurantium (flowers)

Extraction Method

Raw Material Origin

Egypt

Aromatic Note

Bright, floral, sweet, with green-fruity freshness.

In this scent lives the tension of longing for closeness and the hidden fear of rejection.

It is beautiful like a mask — and just as much a trap.

Orange blossom reveals what hides behind refinement and why the soul chooses to shut down.

What the scent brings to light in the subconscious

Pathological desires that distort self-perception, where rejection of others becomes a protective reflex. Strong resistance — born of past wounding — turns into denial of connection.

This oil exposes isolation and mistrust, inviting the beginning of healing through reconnection.

Emotional & Psychological Impact

Heightens awareness of emotional closure.

Reveals masks and isolating behaviors that hide vulnerability.

May gently open the heart — but only when the readiness is near.

Otherwise, it strengthens the protection to allow honest contact.

Cultural Roots & Traditional Use

Orange blossom has long been used in love rituals and bridal traditions.

In Arab cultures, it symbolizes feminine power and the desire to be heard.

The name Neroli comes from Princess of Nerola who made it famous in perfumery.

Highly prized for evoking softness and delicacy.

Blend Compatibility

Blends beautifully with lavender, bergamot, jasmine, ylang ylang, sandalwood, petitgrain.

Fragrant Message

You hide — yet crave a touch.
You reject — yet long to be known.
And in this paradox, the path home begins.
