Soothing and illuminating
Our love affair with Neroli began in Morocco, where we journeyed to visit our prickly pear and argan stewards. As we wandered through the ancient Medina streets, the delicate, honeyed aroma of orange blossoms drifted from hidden courtyards, filling the air at every turn. Staying in a beautiful Riad, surrounded by this intoxicating scent, we were captivated. That fragrance became a memory, forever evoking the magic of Marrakesh and its surrounding landscapes.
From this experience, we were inspired to bring you our Neroli HydroSoul—a fragrant distillation of the bitter orange blossom (Citrus aurantium), sourced from the breathtaking region of Kalaat M’gouna. Crafted in partnership with BioAzay, our neroli hydrosol is hand-harvested at sunrise and distilled in copper alembics to preserve its vibrant aromatics and skin-loving properties. This ethereal hydrosol hydrates, restores balance, and comforts even the most delicate skin. Its uplifting floral-citrus aroma invites peace, renewal, and radiance, both inside and out.
An aroma steeped in history
Neroli, the blossom of the bitter orange tree, is named after the 17th-century Italian Princess of Nerola, one of its first devotees, who used it as her personal fragrance. There is something eternally regal about this shimmering floral note, and its hypnotic, honeyed decadence has captured the hearts of fragrance lovers for centuries.
Orange blossom uplifts the spirit and heart. Neroli brings with it a lush sensuality that sinks deep into the soul, anchoring you in your unique beauty and reminding you of your innate radiance. On the skin it instills peace in all forms - softening, soothing and illuminating the complexion with with a petal fresh glow.
Why choose neroli hydrosol for mature or sensitive skin?
For those with mature or sensitive skin, Neroli HydroSoul is a dream come true. The active compounds in neroli oil—like linalool, geraniol, nerolidol, and citral—are present in low concentrations in the hydrosol, making it super gentle and soothing.
Here’s a look at how these plant compounds support healthy, glowing skin:

Neroli Hydrosol generally does not cause photosensitivity, making it a safe and gentle option to use in your skincare routine, even during the day, unlike certain essential oils, like bergamot or lemon, which contain furanocoumarins that cause photosensitivity.
