The etymology is interesting: " > Borrowed from French *néroli > <https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/n%C3%A9roli#French>* (“neroli”), from > Nerola, a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Rome, Lazio, Italy. > Marie > Anne de La Trémoille, princesse des Ursins > < > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Anne_de_La_Tr%C3%A9moille,_princesse_des_Ursins > > > (1642–1722), Princess of Nerola but originally from France, is thought to > have made neroli popular as a fragrance in her country of birth around > 1670.
