- Neroli from Egypt (also in our range) is known for its deep floral complexity and is often chosen for romantic, sensual perfumes and therapeutic applications.
- Neroli from China tends to be lighter and fresher , ideal for large-scale production and applications where price and availability are more important than olfactory complexity.
Both oils come from the same plant species, but differ greatly in scent and quality due to climate, harvesting methods, and distillation practices.
