Understanding the material
IFF’s Egyptian peel oil demonstrates that bitter orange need not be described only through bitterness. Neroli comes from flowers and petitgrain from foliage-related material of the bitter-orange tree. These related sources produce different supplied materials and should not be treated as interchangeable.
