I have to say that the scent of neroli is a pain for me because it doesn't want to just introduce itself to me. It's as if its personality is shrouded in fog and doesn't want to be revealed.
Different region, different customs
Neroli is extracted from the flowers of the bitter orange tree. It got its name thanks to the 17th century noblewoman Anne Marie de la Tremoille, Princess of Neroli (a place near Rome), who thanks to this essence maintained her beauty even in her late years. In the same century, a little further on, Countess Elizabeth Báthory bathed in virgin blood for her youthful appearance. Different region, different customs. And be so kind as to take inspiration from the Italian princess. I guarantee you positive results.
Effects of Neroli flower water or hydrolate
Neroli hydrolate refreshes and brightens all skin types. It has become a favorite part of the skin care ritual of all Italian women. And if I were to delve into history, I would certainly find mentions of it in the ancient world. It is worth having it at home for its positive effect on the entire organism. Drinking water with neroli hydrolate you strengthen your health, support the function of all organs. It cleanses the body and keeps blood pressure under control. Not to mention that it protects the skin from premature aging. Do you remember the princess? Wink, wink…
But who is hiding in that bottle?
It will be a year since the scent of neroli helped me a lot in a very difficult psychological situation. And as I remember it, she quickly rushed to my aid and then quietly left. Have you ever met such a charitable person who helps as much as she can, but does not need to draw attention to herself? That's her. She helps us accept the situation and not make a victim of ourselves. If you need to calm your aching heart, she will calm it. If you need to look at your emotions from above, she will build you a ladder. In every situation that comes your way and in which you need to be strong, she will help you in such a way that at the end of it all you will be very proud of yourself, what a strong personality you have become. And if she does not want to appear to me anymore, I respect that and I will not blame her.
