Neroli (Orange Blossom)

Origin: Tunisia | Process: Hand-Harvested & Steam-Distilled | Certifications: 100% Pure Botanical Essential Oil

INCI: Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil

In Tunisian homes, orange blossom is the scent of spring. The bitter orange tree flowers just once a year, its delicate white blossoms gathered carefully by hand at dawn and distilled.

One single tree yields three distinct treasures:

• Orange Blossom Water: The soft, fragrant hydrosol that has flavored kitchens and scented homes across Tunisia for generations.

• Petitgrain: Distilled from the leaves and twigs, offering a crisp, woody, green lift.

• Neroli: The rare essential oil distilled from the petals—luminous, green, and honeyed, with a sophisticated bitter edge that keeps it from ever feeling overly sweet.

Neroli forms the floral heart of our fragrance, softened by sweet orange, warm vanilla, and benzoin resin. It also carries our brand's name: Zahr is the Arabic word for blossom.
