Petitgrain essential oil is derived from the bitter orange tree, which has a long history of use in traditional health practices. Historically, petitgrain essential oil has been used for cleansing purposes. Petitgrain is widely used in the perfume industry, giving body sprays, fragrances, lotions, and colognes a fresh, herbaceous note that is popular with both women and men.

Petitgrain oil has a sweet yet tangy aroma with subtle floral and woody characteristics. It blends especially well with citrus, floral, and woody oils. Petitgrain will enhance feelings of joy and courage when facing a challenge and help promote hope and calm.
