Petitgrain essential oil

Description: The bitter orange tree that provides the petitgrain essential oil is also the source of bitter orange oil and neroli oil.

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.

Consistency: thin
Strength of aroma: medium

Common uses

Aromatherapy: Petitgrain essential oil has a fresh, sweet, and slightly woody aroma that many find pleasant and refreshing. It's often used in aromatherapy to create a calming and uplifting environment. Diffusing petitgrain oil can help improve the overall atmosphere and promote relaxation.

Air freshener: The appealing aroma of petitgrain oil makes it a great choice for creating homemade air fresheners. You can add a few drops of the oil to water in a spray bottle to create a natural and uplifting air freshener for your living spaces.

Cleaning agent: Petitgrain is said to be suitable for creating DIY cleaning products. It can be added to homemade cleaners to provide a fresh scent and can help disinfect surfaces.

Insect repellent: While not as commonly known as other essential oils like citronella or eucalyptus, petitgrain oil also are said to have insect repellent properties. It can be used in natural bug sprays or added to candles to help keep insects away.

Candles and crafts: Petitgrain oil's aromatic qualities make it a popular choice for scented candles, potpourri, and other home fragrance products.
