Petitgrain Essential Oil Organic

    Petitgrain Essential Oil

    The Bitter Orange tree is a thorny shrub that produces small, delicately scented white flowers in summer. Its young shoots are then covered with tiny fruits in the making, similar to "little grains". Their distillation gives us an essential oil with citrus, floral and fruity notes.

    Our opinion

    The difference between Petitgrain and Neroli is mainly in the olfaction, in terms of note and intensity. Petitgrain is also less exclusive and can be combined very easily with other essential oils, such as fine lavender.

    The most renowned quality comes from Paraguay. The "organic" certification indicates that it is produced by the Amerindians of this country, who can thus live decently from their environment and maintain it.
