What does NEROLI mean in Scrabble?
noun
An essential oil distilled from the blossom of the bitter orange tree, used in perfumery.
Neroli is produced by steam-distilling the fragrant white flowers of the bitter, or Seville, orange tree, giving an oil with a fresh, slightly bitter floral scent. Perfumers prize it as a classic ingredient in colognes and other fragrance blends, and it is also used in cooking and in orange-flower water. The name is said to come from an Italian princess of Nerola who popularised the scent in the seventeenth century. Neroli is distinct from petitgrain, which comes from the leaves and twigs of the same tree rather than the flowers.
