Petitgrain Essential Oil

Petitgrain Essential Oil
Citrus aurantium | Leaves & Twigs | Steam Distilled

Fresh, green, and lightly woody, Petitgrain Essential Oil offers a unique citrus floral scent that feels both soothing and subtly uplifting. Steam distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium), this oil sits beautifully between neroli and bitter orange, offering calming benefits at a more affordable price point.

Petitgrain is often used to relieve nervous tension, ease anxiety, and calm the mind, making it a natural choice for stress relief blends and bedtime diffusion. It also boasts skin balancing and clarifying properties, often included in facial toners and creams to support oily or blemish prone skin. Its subtle sharpness adds complexity to DIY perfumes, massage oils, and emotional support blends.

Whether you're winding down, supporting your skin, or crafting a layered blend, Petitgrain brings balance, clarity, and aromatic depth.
