aka Petitgrain Essential Oil, Citrus Aurantium Amara Leaf Oil, Petitgrain Oil
Citrus aurantium var. amara
Citrus aurantium var. amara | Steam Distilled | Origin: Paraguay
Our Petitgrain Essential Oil is steam distilled from the tender leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium var. amara), sustainably harvested from the lush orchards of Paraguay. With its crisp, woody-citrus aroma, this oil offers a refreshing balance between the sharp brightness of citrus and the soft, grounding green notes of fresh foliage.
Often referred to as the “poor man’s neroli,” Petitgrain delivers similar aromatic benefits at a more accessible price point — making it a beloved staple in natural perfumery, emotional wellness, and skincare formulations.
