Ancient Wisdom Petitgrain Essential Oil - 10ml Bottle

Petitgrain essential oil is derived from the bitter orange tree. At one time, the oil used to be extracted from green, unripe oranges when they were still the size of a cherry. This is why it's known as petitgrains, translated as 'little grains'. Historically, Petitgrain essential oil has been used for cleaning purposes. Petitgrain is widely used in the perfume industry, giving body sprays, fragrances, lotions, and colognes a fresh, herbaceous note that is popular among both women and men.

Petitgrain 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.
