What you need with it
What it is
An essential oil is the scent of a plant, distilled or pressed into a few drops. A few drops in a diffuser or burner scent a room; for skin or bath it always goes into a carrier oil first.
Why people choose it
- The scent of the plant itself Pressed or distilled from the flower, leaf, peel or resin, so it smells of the plant, not of a perfume.
- One bottle, many uses A diffuser, a burner, a warm bath with a carrier oil, a drop on a pillow at night.
- A few drops at a time A diffuser takes three to five drops, so one small bottle lasts many evenings.
- Made to be blended Most oils sit well together: lavender with cedarwood, citrus with mint, rose with sandalwood.

About this product
The scent in the air
- It opens with a crisp citrus freshness, less juicy than orange peel and more leaf-like.
- The herbal side gives the aroma a clean, grown-up character, rather than a sugary sweetness.
- Soft floral notes sit underneath, making it useful in blends that need freshness without sharpness.
- A gentle woody thread gives the scent more body than many bright citrus oils.
- It blends especially well with citrus, floral and wood oils for room fragrance or perfume-style blends.
Leaves, twigs and steam
The botanical name is Citrus aurantium var. amara, the bitter orange tree. This oil comes from Paraguay and is made by steam distillation, using the leaves and twigs rather than the fruit peel.
That plant part matters. Petitgrain has the brightness of citrus, but with a greener, more aromatic character, which is why it is widely used in perfumery, body sprays, lotions, colognes and fresh fragrance blends.
How to use it at home
Add a few diluted drops to a suitable diffuser or oil burner, following the guidance for your device. For personal fragrance blending, always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin and patch test first.
Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from heat and direct light. Avoid use during pregnancy or with children unless guided by a qualified professional, and keep essential oils away from pets.
The bitter orange tradition
The bitter orange tree has a long place in traditional plant use, with different parts of the tree valued for their distinct aromas. Petitgrain comes from the leafy, twiggy side of the plant, which gives it a fresher and more herbal character than sweeter orange scents. Historically, petitgrain has also been associated with cleaning uses, and in modern fragrance it is prized for adding a crisp, refined green note that works across both feminine and masculine perfume styles.

I heard about the particularly beautiful smell of myrrh from the Holy Sepulcher and I wanted to know this smell. Ancient myrrh essential oil confirmed the reputation of myrrh perfume.

More than the particularly pleasant scent, lemongrass oil had a quick relaxing effect and ease of breathing. Mentally I felt very good. I will use this concentrated oil to ease breathing, but it is certainly very pleasant diluted, in the bath or in the aromatizer. I am still studying these effects.
