Citrus aurantium

Petitgrain essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

Petitgrain essential oil dōTERRA | 15 ml

Petitgrain essential oil is the least known of the three oils from the bitter orange tree, and a perfumer’s oil. The tree gives Neroli from its flowers, Bitter Orange from its peel, and Petitgrain from its leaves and twigs: hence a fresh, floral and herbaceous aroma, greener than that of a citrus fruit.

Its relaxing properties make it a massage oil, mixed with fractionated coconut oil, and its scent can also be worn on its own, one diluted drop. On the skin, two diluted drops applied to blemishes before your moisturiser reduce their appearance. In the evening, sprayed on the pillow with Lavender or Bergamot, it brings a sense of calm and relaxation.

A citrus without the fruit, worn by day and sprayed at night.

Interesting fact

The name “petitgrain” (small grain) recalls that the small green fruits of the bitter orange tree were once distilled, picked unripe and no bigger than a cherry. Today, the oil comes from the leaves and twigs.
