Understanding the material
Neroli and orange blossom absolute begin with flowers from the same botanical reference, but they are different supplied materials. The IFF Egyptian neroli oil is distilled, while its Moroccan orange-flower absolute is extracted and purified. Compare the processes as well as the names; a note described as orange blossom does not identify which material was used.
Compare neroli with orange blossom absolute in finished fragrances. Does the first feel greener and more open, while the second feels warmer? Record the actual result instead of assuming that either must follow a fixed pattern.
