PETITGRAIN - PURE ESSENTIAL OIL - Citrus aurantium
About the aroma
Petitgrain has a fresh, green and woody aroma with a soft floral-citrus edge. It's steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium var. amara – the same tree whose blossom gives neroli. In perfumery it's used as a top note and is often found in cologne-style blends.
