🌿 Product Description
Petitgrain Oil is a fresh, green-citrus essential oil obtained from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium). It has a crisp, woody, floral aroma with subtle herbaceous notes, making it a key component in both modern and classic perfumery, as well as aromatherapy and skincare formulations.
This oil acts as a middle note in fragrance design and is favored for its refreshing character and emotionally balancing properties. Carefully steam-distilled by Meena Perfumery, our Petitgrain Oil reflects Kannauj’s deep-rooted expertise in natural essence craftsmanship.
