Petitgrain oil is produced from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium amara), a member of the Rutaceae plant family. Bitter orange belongs to the Rutaceae family and is believed to have originated in South-East Asia, and spread to North-Eastern India, Burma and China.
There are three essential oils derived from the bitter orange tree. Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the tree. Neroli essential oil is distilled from the blossoms, and bitter orange oil is produced by cold pressing the rinds of the fruits.
Since petitgrain essential oil is distilled from the leaves and twigs, it is less floral and less citrusy than neroli or orange essential oil. It has a beautiful, fresh, woody, citrusy and a bit floral aroma that blends well with bergamot, geranium, lavender, palmarosa, rosewood, sandalwood, basil, benzoin, clary sage, cypress, lemon, lime, linaloe wood, mandarin, neroli, orange sweet, rosemary, ylang-ylang, clove, geranium, jasmine, cassia, cinnamon, citronella, lemongrass, lime, sage, spikenard, tangerine, eucalyptus, frankincense, marjoram, and oakmoss essential oil.
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. This oil is high in linalyl acetate, linalool, and alpha-terpineol.
Petitgrain essential oil is surprisingly versatile, and like several other oils, it has the ability to both relax and uplift at the same time. In common with neroli, it has an affinity with the skin, helping with acne, pimples and blemishes, balancing over-active sebaceous glands, reducing spider veins, and acting as an all round tonic to the complexion. And all at a much lower price!
Aromatherapists also use petitgrain essential oil for asthma, anxiety, colic, depression, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, fluid retention, greasy skin, headaches and migraine, hay fever, insomnia, mature skin, nausea, nervous exhaustion and stress. As stated, it is a surprisingly versatile essential oil and represents excellent value for money.
Petitgrain oil adds its own unique aromatic and therapeutic qualities wherever you use it, and it is a great middle note for blending. Try it with basil, benzoin, bergamot, clary sage, cypress, geranium, lavender, lemon, lime, linaloe wood, mandarin, neroli, orange sweet, palmarosa, rosemary, sandalwood and ylang ylang.
