Did you know that it takes approximately 2000 lbs of flowers to make one pound of neroli essential oil? The oil is extracted from the bitter orange tree and is believed to have orginated in Asia. However, the Italians were the first to steam distill the oil in the 17th century. Around the same time, the first eau de cologne was created that included a blend of neroli, bergamot, lavender, lemon, petit grain and rosemary.
