This is actually one of my most favorite essential oils. I just love the smell.
Orange Blossoms have long be a traditional feature of weddings. They were seen as a symbol of purity and virginity. The orange tree was widely associated with weddings and nuptial feasts. Young brides used to wear a wreath woven from orange blossoms. In Crete, bride and groom were sprinkled with orange blossom water. In Sardinia orange blossoms were fastened to the horns of the oxen pulling the honeymooners’ cart. In Sicily sprigs from the orange tree are used to decorate images of the Virgin Mary. So it is interesting to also note that Neroli was once used as the standard perfume by the prostitutes of Madrid.
You can find a mini profile of Neroli - Orange Blossom on my website.
On a subtle level, Neroli can help one to develop the inner trust which will allows self-acceptance and produces feelings of security and protection. Neroli brings in positive energy. It helps one to relax as well as face our emotional fears. It can help to promote sensual comfort. It eases grief and also helps one to experience joyful love. It can reunite the conscious and subconscious minds and can promote direct communication with the spiritual world. Neroli can help one to become aware of unresolved issues so that one can deal with them. Neroli can also help to facilitate all kinds of creative activities when they are inspired by spiritual aspirations. Neroli is often used in happiness and protection blends.
Generally considered non-toxic, non-irritating and non-sensitizing.

I agree, Neroli is one of the oils I treasure. I use it for almost all emotional blends, especially panic and anxiety.
