What other people think
'The reputed aphrodisiac quality of Neroli stems not from a direct hormonal or stimulant effect, as with some oils, but rather from its ability to calm any nervous apprehension that may be felt before a sexual encounter' - an excerpt from Aromatherapy an A - Z by Patricia Davis.
