Neroli oil

Neroli oil (CAS 8016-38-4), also known as sour orange neroli oil, is a steam-distilled or cold-pressed essential oil derived from the blossoms of Citrus aurantium. Registered under FEMA 2771, it delivers a distinctive floral-citrus scent profile.

This material commands premium positioning across fragrance and flavor markets. In fine fragrance and personal care, it is a recognized top-to-heart note used in eau de parfum, skin serums, and luxury body care formulations.

Natural floral character serves as a commercial differentiator in these applications. Food and beverage manufacturers incorporate it as a flavoring agent in confectionery, baked goods, and soft drinks, particularly in European markets.

The flavor profile is well established in Middle Eastern markets as well. Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators use it in oral preparations and topical products where natural botanical origin supports label positioning.

Home care applications include premium room sprays and fabric care products targeting the natural and artisan segment. The oil is supplied as a pale yellow to amber liquid in quantities ranging from small vials to bulk drums.

Standard commercial grades include food-grade (FCC-compliant) and cosmetic-grade material. Natural and organic-certified variants are available from select origins to meet specific formulation requirements.

North African origins, particularly Tunisia and Morocco, represent the primary commercial supply base. These regions provide the consistent quality and volume required for global industrial distribution and manufacturing.
