Petitgrain Essential Oil (Italy)
Average Product Rating: 4.7 / 5 (Based on 24 Customer Reviews)
Main Constituents:
Linalyl acetate: 42%
Botanical Name: Petitgrain bigarde
Plant Part: Leaves and Twigs
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled
Origin: Italy
Description: Petitgrain bigarde is native to Southeast Asia. The tree now grows throughout the Mediterranean and sub-tropic areas worldwide. The bitter orange tree that provides the Petitgrain Essential Oil is also the source of Bitter Orange Oil and Neroli Oil.
Color: Colorless to pale yellow liquid.
Common Uses: Petitgrain Essential Oil is believed to have uplifting properties. Aromatherapists have long used it to calm anger and stress, while it has been used in the skin care industry for acne, oily skin, and as a deodorizing agent.
Consistency: Thin
Note: Top
Strength of Aroma: Strong
Blends well with: Bergamot, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Geranium, Lavender, Lime, Jasmine, Neroli, Orange, Palmarosa, Rosemary, Sandalwood and Ylang-ylang .
Aromatic Scent: Petitgrain Italy Essential Oil smells like orange blossoms with a bitter, floral, citrus and herbaceous undertone.
History: Originally the oil was produced in distilleries from the unripe oranges when they were the size of cherries. This explains why it is named Petitgrain – which in French means little grains. Nonetheless, this proved to be uneconomical and so the oil began being extracted from the leaves and twigs of the orange tree instead.
Cautions: Petitgrain Italy Essential Oil is generally non-toxic, non-irritant, non-sensitizing. Avoid use during pregnancy.

This smells exactly like a broken twig from an orange tree, citrusy but with bitter undertones that are not entirely pleasant. That said, the overall smell is not bad. I just find it hard to mix with other EOs and would use it more for its therapeutic properties than for its actual smell.

I purchased this oil without knowing anything about it--just had a feeling that I needed it in my repertoire of oils. And, wow, am I glad to have it! As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was "MY" oil. It calms me and balances every extreme emotion.

Like neroli with a pop of galbanum or cypress or something else in the "green" family. Not a substitue, per se, especially not therapeutically, but an interesting change of pace for chypre and floral fragrances in need of some grassy qualities sans the incense or wood notes found in most "green" odors.

I mixed Petitgrain with Peru Balsam and what a great aroma. I use this for my deodorant mixed in shea butter and it is wonderful. The best mix I have tried. I had only bought a small size now I am back to get a larger size.

For a beautiful scent combine this Petitgrain with the other essential oils in the Orange family - Neroli, Bergamot and Orange. The blend is a natural and uplifting scent for the diffuser or anything else you would like. This Petitgrain does have a beautiful scent all on its own as well.

One of my new favourite oils! I like the scent because it is not overly "sweet" and blends well with an earthy/woody toned oil. Fresh, clean scent when used in a burner.

This oil is also one of my favorites.... if you don't have the money for neroli.....buy petitgrain. Ok, it's not the same vibrationally or any other way, but it comes from the leaves of the same tree, and the scent is very close yet a little more 'green'. I absolutely love this oil with a nice balsamic or woody scent (like sandalwood). Truly a beautiful treasure.
