Organic petitgrain essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of Citrus aurantium. This top to middle note has a fresh citrus scent with woody-herbaceous undertones. At first the oil was extracted from the small green unripe oranges. The name petitgrain comes from this, meaning little grains. Petitgrain oil is often used in diffuser blends or in skin care. Blends well with bergamot, clove, oakmoss, lavender, or geranium.
