Natural Acres Neroli Essential Oil 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Neroli Oil for Aromatherapy, Healthy Skin, Massage and Relaxation

I was little put off and suspicious by how (relatively) inexpensive it was...After all, pure essential Neroli oil is supposed to be really costly, so imagine my surprise and delight when the oil arrived (well packed, and on time) and my preliminary test, and nose tell me that this is the real deal! :) Also, in the time that it has taken me to write this review, I have been testing it, and it really does seem to work on creating calm and lowering blood pressure...but I will update with new info.The scent is gorgeous!! The effects are still to be determined, because I've not yet had sufficient time to FULLY evaluate performance..., but here is what it's supposed to do...;antidepressant, aphrodisiac, antiseptic, bactericidal, cordial, carminative (flatulence reliever) , cicatrisant (skin healing), cytophylactic (beneficial to aging and mature skin), disinfectant, antispasmodic, deodorant, digestive, emollient, sedative and tonic substance"...this info is according to Dr. Axe's site. Here is a bit more info...Study #1:“Effects of Inhalation of Neroli on Menopausal Symptoms, Stress, and Estrogen in Postmenopausal Women: A Randomized Controlled Trial.”(Published in ‘Evidence Based Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, Epub June 12, 2014 – the complete abstract is included at the bottom of this post).According to the research, compared to the control group, those inhaling neroli showed significant improvements in sex-drive, lowered blood pressure, lowered pulse rate, and serum cortisol (a stress hormone), and estrogen concentrations.They conclude “These findings indicate that inhalation of neroli oil helps relieve menopausal symptoms, increase sexual desire, and reduce blood pressure in postmenopausal women. Neroli oil may have potential as an effective intervention to reduce stress and improve the endocrine system.”Study #2:“Aromatherapy for reducing colonoscopy-related procedural anxiety and physiological parameters: a randomized controlled study.” Published in the Journal of Hepatogastroenterology, 2010 Sept-Oct.A randomized controlled trail was carried out and collected in 2009 and 2010. The participants were randomized in two groups. Aromatherapy was then carried out by inhalation of Sunflower oil (control group) and Neroli oil (Experimental group).Participates in this study were 27 subjects, 13 in control group and 14 in Neroli group with average age 52.26 +/- 17.79 years. There was no significance of procedural anxiety by STAI-S score and procedural pain by VAS. The physiological parameters showed a significant lower pre- and post-procedural systolic blood pressure in Neroli group than control group. In another recent scientific study that I researched before ordering, this little oil has outperformed Xanax for calming social anxiety and anxiousness. Yep, that's what i just said... Don't take my word for it. Google it.This oil is derived from bitter orange blossoms, (from the same tree that produces bergamot fruit, but this is made from the flowers, not the fruit) It's name and fame comes from The Princess of Nerola (near Rome), who made it famous by making it her signature scent... She scented her gloves and clothes with it and added it to her bath religiously.I might just have to start wearing fancy girl gloves, just so that I can scent them. ;)I receive NO DISCOUNTS or freebies for my reviews.

Yuck. This does not smell like true neroli. I knew it wasnt legit due to the price, but took a chance because some of these "knock-offs" are okay for diffusing or diluting in a carrier oil. It smells terrible, and very synthetic. Worse when diffused. I thought maybe I could mix it with my various citrus' for a homemade "citrus bliss" blend. NOT bliss. More like blech! Bummer because it wasn't THAT cheap. Do not waste your $. Save up your sheckles and get the real deal.

I'm not sure how to rate this... I purchased it specifically for skincare only. I am having a hard time tolerating the smell. This is my first experience with Neroli oil, so I only have read what the scent should be like. The oil I received smells horrible. I have diluted in carrier oils as well as a shea butter base, it lessens the odor but it's still not pleasant my any means. Disappointed, not sure if it's rancid or not....

This is a very relaxing fragrance at the end of a very busy day when I need to relax. I mix this with coconut oil and apply after my shower. It truly makes me feel relaxed and ready to end the day. Love it!

I am well pleased with this oil. It smells heavenly. I mix with other essential oils to make perfume and lip gloss. I also use it my diffuser with other oils. The quality of this brand is excellent. I will purchase it again in the near future.

Smells good - very strong so a little goes a long way. Seems like a quality oil and arrived well packaged and sealed.

I used in in combination with other oils in my facial cream,

Smells like you would think but I use it to deter ticks from attaching to my dog. I put a drop on his collar or harness and it does a job that I do not want harmful chemicals doing.
