Neroli or Petitgrain?
This week I came across this bottle of essential oil for sale in the cosmetics section of TK Maxx. It’s from an Australian brand called Eco Aroma, who sell a range of aromatherapy skin care products and essential oils.
At first glance, it appears to be a 10ml bottle of pure neroli essential oil — it quite clearly states “pure essential oil” and “neroli” in bold text.
Seeing as the average price of 10ml pure neroli essential oil would be around the £100 mark, I was curious to know why this was on sale for less than a tenth of that price.

Can I Cook With Essential Oils?
Cooking with essential oils is a burgeoning yet often misunderstood concept. Traditionally, professional aromatherapy training has always warned against consuming essential oils, but now we are seeing more and more recommendations to incorporate them into our everyday food and drinks.
Recently, it has become fashionable to advocate drinking drops of essential oils in water, ostensibly to improve internal health (read more about this here). Pinterest is full of beautiful blog posts about how to use essential oils in cookery – in fact, it has become mainstream to the point where we’re now led to believe that essential oils can just be liberally added to anything we eat and drink.
It’s no wonder that people are left feeling confused – on the one hand, we’re told not to take essential oils internally. On the other hand, we’re being encouraged to use them in our cooking.
