Meet Nerolina,
Australia’s sweet-smelling native oil.
Think of Nerolina as tea tree’s softer, prettier cousin. The scent is earthy and fresh with a fruity edge and a soft, lilac-like floral note.
It’s distilled from the leaves of the broad-leaved paperbark (Melaleuca quinquenervia), a native tree found along the east coast from Botany Bay in NSW up into Queensland. Its flowers are a rich nectar source for fruit bats, insects and birds.
What to use it for:
Diffuse it for a fresh, calming scent at home (2 to 4 drops in a burner or vaporiser)
Freshen your home by adding a few drops to your homemade cleaning blends or laundry
Blend it with lavender, lemon myrtle or sandalwood to lift your favourite combinations.
Add it to a bath or dilute it in a carrier oil for massage at about 2% (1% for the face)
Our favourite way to use it: in the diffuser at the end of the day. It’s a soft, fresh scent that makes the house feel calm.
Safety: Don’t take it internally, keep it away from children and pets, avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and always dilute before applying to skin.
Come and have a sniff at Oil4you, Old Petrie Town, Sunday 7am to 1pm 🌿
