Chamomile in the Ancient Herbals

The Greek name chamaimelon was long read as smell of an apple, an interpretation from Pliny. Dioscorides described three species, distinguished by petal color: white, yellow and purple. In the 2nd century, Galen classed chamomile as drying and warming.

Neroli from the Bitter Orange

Bitter orange trees were grown in al-Andalus for their blossoms. The flowers were distilled into orange-flower water. The name neroli is traditionally traced to Anne Marie Orsini, Princess of Nerola. She favored the oil in Rome around 1680.

Using and Storing Your Oil

Add a few drops of this lavender chamomile fragrance oil to your own base. A neroli petit grain blend like this one sits well beside herbs. Browse more scents in the Fragrance Oils collection or the full Museumize fragrance collection. Keep the cap tight and store the bottle upright, away from heat and direct sun.

Herbal gardens and citrus groves meet in this blend. A clean fresh fragrance oil suits a bathroom shelf, and a tangerine lavender scent brings a gentle brightness. The neroli petit grain blend keeps the whole mix light, as a clean fresh fragrance oil should.
