Typical Uses of Neroli Absolute Oil

Neroli Absolute Oil is used mainly as a professional perfumery and formulation material. It is not a general-purpose aromatic oil.

Common uses include:

Perfumery and fine fragrance compositions as a floral citrus heart or modifier
Cosmetic scenting in creams, oils, balms and solid perfumes
Aromatic blending where clarity, freshness and orange blossom character are required
Craft and artisan products such as candles and soaps at very low concentrations

This material is normally used as a supporting heart note rather than a dominant aroma.

Handling and Working Dilution

Neroli Absolute Oil may feel slightly viscous, and aroma clarity improves noticeably once diluted.

If helpful, gently warming the closed bottle in the hands can assist with measuring.

Preparing a 1% working dilution in perfumer’s alcohol or a suitable carrier oil is recommended to allow accurate dosing during formulation.

Dilution Guidance for Neroli Absolute Oil

Neroli Absolute Oil is extremely concentrated and must always be diluted before skin contact.

Typical usage ranges are:

Perfumery and aromatic blends: 0.1–1%
Cosmetic products such as creams, oils and balms: 0.05–0.3%
Candles and soaps: usually below 1%, depending on the formulation

This material is not used neat and not used at high percentages. Patch testing is required before any skin application.
