Enchanting daidai is a unique variety of bitter orange tree originating in Nepal and has since spread through subtropical Asia. Every spring the gorgeously scented flowers gift us with a cherished fragrance that has captivated perfumers, oil connoisseurs, and people in general throughout history.
The scent of daidai flower is reminiscent of neroli and grapefruit flower but also has its own distinct, unique character. The richly scented flowers are hand collected in the early morning when their fragrance is strongest and steam distilled. The resulting essential oil is perfect for spring and summer perfumes and year round luxurious skincare products. Blends beautifully with so many essential oils, absolutes and carrier oils.
Used in New Year celebrations, traditional Chinese herbal formulas, Japanese spa and bathing traditions, culinary delights and so much more! The daidai flower holds cultural significance and is rich in history.
The name daidai means "several generations" and was given to this unique tree because the fruits can stay on the tree for years if not harvested and remain in good condition.
