Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Orange flower water (org) has a floral scent: blossom with something of orange.
The smell is not particularly strong, so undiluted use is common. Typical use is
in low alcoholic products such as aftershave or eau de Cologne. Replace some of
the water in, for example, a cream or shampoo with orange blossom water. This
allows you to perfume it subtly and naturally. Use between 5% and 50% of this
substance in the end product, a higher percentage is not a problem. It combines
well with citrus and floral scents such as lavender and lemon. It adds a nice
natural warm scent. In perfumes it is mainly a heart note, it is fairly stable,
but in more aggressive products such as soap it is better to use something else.

Properties (Hekserij)
Orange flower water (org) is a pale yellow to yellow-orange liquid at room
temperature. About 0,6% preservative has been added, consisting of benzyl
alcohol, dehydroacetic acid and a little water, so the substance has a fairly
long shelf life. For the rest, it is a natural product, namely the water
released during the steam distillation of the flowers of the bitter orange tree
(Citrus aurantium var amara L.). These trees are grown organically. The water
(hydrolate) contains a little fragrance, otherwise mainly water. All in all,
more than 98% of the product is water.
