Neroli absolute (Citrus aurantium var. amara) is in the Rutaceae (citrus) family. The oil is an absolute extraction from the flowers of the bitter orange tree meaning that a solvent was used to force the oil from the orange blossoms. This is a beautiful fragrance and one of the ingredients in eau-de-cologne which is one of the oldest and best known perfumes.
Traditionally neroli was highly regarded by the Egyptians for healing the mind, body and spirit. It actually was named after a princess of Nerola in Italy who wore it as a perfume. One of the folk uses in Europe was to use orange blossoms in bridal bouquets to calm nervous apprehension before the couple retired to the marriage bed.
