Petitgrain (Citrus Aurantium) Essential Oils

Petitgrain Essential Oils. Though steam distilled from the same botanical species as neroli and bitter orange, Petitgrain Essential Oil possesses its own characteristically unique aroma. Petitgrain Oil is distilled from the leaves and sometimes the twigs and branches of the tree. Because it is distilled from the leaves and sometimes also the twigs, it is less floral and less citrusy in fragrance than Neroli or Orange. Petitgrain Essential Oil possesses an aroma that is sweet, yet tart with subtle floral and woody characteristics. It blends especially well with citrus, floral and wood oils.

Petitgrain Oil is sometimes known as Poor Man’s Neroli because it is much less expensive than Neroli Oil but it offers many of the same uses and benefits as neroli.
