Hi Corin,

The best thing I can tell you as both a supplier of oils and one who

seeks out top quality oils for my projects .. request samples before

you buy

Dear Corin

Maybe you want to try (get a tiny sample) of Eden's Neroli which I

find better, more flowery than Liberty's (www.edenbotanicals.com).

Eventually you also want to combine Neroli with the absolute from

Orange flower (Liberty's Moroccan being a little bit stingy, dirty in a

sense), thus you might introduce the voluptousness and power of the

flower into your blend.

Eden Botanicals' Neroli Extra is even more beautiful than their

regular neroli, more rounded and sweet - get samples of both!

Tunisian Neroli is usually the *best* quality there is, and that was my

experience so far...

But, I think the Tunisian Neroli this year smells different, sharper and

more like the petitgrain.Your experience, Corin, is very much like

mine... Might be the same oil.

It was a great dissapointment when I bought a new bottle from my usual

supplier - and it smelled totally different. Not as sweet and soft as it

used to be (well, Neroli is always more fresh and citrusy than Orange

Blossom Absolute, but still - floral; the latest crop must have

something different going on - weather, water, soil, I don't know;

that's part of the challenge - and beauty - of natural perfumery).

I am trying to find the best Orange Blossom absolute there is - the

sweeter the better - and am considering ordering from Liberty Naturals.

Never ordered from them before and haven't tried any of those oils yet.

Can you recommend which is better - the Tunisian or the Moroccan?

Thanks!

Hi Ayala~

I' have both Tunisian & Moroccan Orange Blossom Abs. from Liberty - the

Moroccan is beautiful & much less sharp and " solventy " than the Tunisian

counterpart. I prefer the Moroccan from Liberty over Eden's Tunisian as well.

So many nerolis seem to be petigrain-y lately. My solution is to add a bit

of orange blossom absolute -- it elevates the floral quality immensely.

See above.

I heard years ago about lemon 'neroli' but never actually saw or smelled

any. There must be something about the chemistry of the bitter orange

flower of that variety that lends itself to distillation, and the others

fail miserably, otherwise the product would be on the market -- they

distill everything usable, IMO.

Aha, Andy, we think alike. I mentioned this combo a few posts ago, but

without the specific suppliers. I encourage everyone to try as many

suppliers as possible to get a broad spectrum of experience with the

offerings. That said, Eden's tuberose absolute is positively gorgeous! I'm

just on a white flower fling tonight ;-)

I vote for sloppy harvesting -- the #1 cause for petitgrain-y neroli :-(

Salaam, who is Profumo in Italy (and a member of this group), has very

generously invited me to participate in his own " buy " of components

that he uses in his perfumes. salaam does not usually sell components,

so this is very special opportunity. i know his perfumes are beautiful

(because i carry them in my shop) and he has always told me that for

the best perfumes, one needs the best components, and i absolutely

trust his judgement. i have bought other components before from him,

and they are absolutely beautiful.

neroli is one of the components that is available this time, and he

let me know that i could invite others to share in my purchase from

him. so if anyone is interested in finding out more, please email me

offline. the euro is very favorable to the dollar right now.

thanks, linda
