Pomelo Flower Essential Oil

Adam Michael has this to say  “First the obvious, aromatically, this is to a large extent neroli essential oil distilled from the flowers of another citrus plant – Citrus maxima. However that’s where the obvious ends as this has a wonderful personality of its own.

Profile wise, the top notes are comparable to fridge fresh orange flower water with hits of juicy ripe red mandarins, bergamot leaves and finished with a rich thick gourmand orange blossom honey.

This is exactly like smelling the little flowers on the plant. The heart is as you would expect, packed with heavenly neroli tonalities, super juicy, elegant white floral notes, and underscored with petitgrain vibes and waxy peel nuances. Base notes are again white floral, citrus-candy-fruity, and heavily honeyed. Id add in all of my twenty years (nearly) at hermitage oils, the honey notes here are the best I’ve ever encountered – surpassing those found within nigella damascena, and acacia honey absolutes.

Across the board, aromatically, development wise, longevity wise this Pomelo flower essential oil (batch: PFE02) really is a step up from the neroli flower e.o superstar producers within Tunisia and Morocco. High praise indeed but I feel its truly justified.

Honey yellow orange in colour subject to volume/weight, of a pourable liquid and produced by my Chinese honeysuckle absolute supplier. Again, like honeysuckle, I have had options on Pomelo elsewhere in that part of the world, but I feel my producer is putting out pomelo flower essential oil with a brighter profile, longer lasting, more enjoyable and most of all – as true to the flowers themselves in there living state. 10 out of 10.”
