A versatile and uplifting oil, Petitgrain Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). Unlike Neroli, which is distilled from the blossoms, Petitgrain offers a fresh, citrusy fragrance with subtle floral and woody undertones. Bottled in a convenient 10ml size, it's a popular choice for aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and skincare applications.

Scent profile
Petitgrain essential oil has a fresh, green, and woody aroma that is often described as uplifting and calming.
  • Top note: Fresh, citrusy, and zesty.
  • Heart note: Slightly floral, reminiscent of neroli but with a less polished, more complex character.
  • Base note: Subtle woody and herbaceous undertones.
