Description
Petitgrain
Origin and background
Petitgrain essential oil is extracted from the leaves and green twigs of the bitter orange tree by steam distillation. In other words, it is also known as a bitter orange leaf oil.
Three different essential oils are actually made from different parts of the bitter orange tree: orange essential oil is obtained from the peel of orange, petitgrain oil from the leaves and twigs of the same tree, and neroli oil from the blossoms.
Petitgrain oil is sometimes referred to as a poor man's neroli oil because it is much less expensive than neroli oil, but at the same time offers similar uses and benefits as neroli. Petitgrain has wonderful properties, but because it is often overshadowed by precious neroli oil, it hasn't received the recognition it deserves.
Petitigrain oil has long been used in health practices. Historically, this essential oil has been used for cleansing. It is also widely used in the perfume industry, giving a fresh herbal note to body sprays, fragrances, creams, and colognes, popular with both women and men.
