Escentia Petitgrain Essential Oil 10ml
Escentia Petitgrain Essential Oil is a refreshing, green-citrus oil steam distilled from the leaves, twigs, and young branches of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara). While it shares the same botanical origin as neroli and bitter orange, petitgrain has a distinctively fresh, woody, and slightly floral aroma.
This versatile oil is widely used in aromatherapy, skincare formulations, and natural perfumery, offering a balanced scent that is both uplifting and calming.
What Makes Petitgrain Unique?
Petitgrain is one of three oils derived from the bitter orange tree:
- Neroli → distilled from blossoms
- Orange oil → extracted from the peel
- Petitgrain → distilled from leaves and twigs
This gives petitgrain its unique green, slightly woody citrus profile, making it a favourite in both aromatherapy and fragrance blending.
