Regular price $46.00Notes: Citrus, floral
Clean and fresh. Earthy yet floral. Complex yet simple.
Well-known throughout the ages for its anti-depressant properties, Orange Blossom oil has been used for centuries by perfumers from Paris to Istanbul. Oudimentary is now proud to present this fine example of Orange Blossom oil, hailing from Fez, Morocco.
In Morocco orange blossom water (which can be made by simply diluting this oil) is called Ilma Zhar, phrase in Arabic literally meaning “flower water,” in contrast to Llma Ward, which is rose blossom water. The main usage of orange blossom water is as a unisex perfume or freshener, usually given to guests to wash their hands upon entering the host house or before drinking tea. Sadly, this old custom is fading away in the present day.
Tap into this old custom yourself by ordering a bottle of this timeless, uplifting—and affordable—oil.
I fell in love with orange blossom on my first visit to Morocco. So I was delighted to find it via Oudimentary. The oil is very authentic and can be used for home and body. I love it!
A very good long lasting scent.
As an oil, not necessarily an oud enthusiast, I must say I was unpleasantly surprised at the overpowering neroli note that remained constant from application to dry down. I feel the name should be changed from Orange to Neroli Blossom. Awesome if one is really into the scent of Neroli. It definitely lacks any hint of orange or spice that is mentioned in the description.
What can I say, besides Oud, Orange Blossom/ Neroli is my favorite note. This Moroccan Orange Blossom oil smells divine. It's clean, fresh, a bit zesty even. Will be ordering it again!
