Escentia Petitgrain Pure Essential Oil - 20ML

Escentia Petitgrain Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient essential oil distilled from the leaves, twigs, and branches of the bitter orange tree, Citrus aurantium amara . Although it comes from the same botanical species as neroli and bitter orange oil, it has its own distinct aromatic profile and use style.

It is commonly used in aromatherapy, massage blends, and body care formulations where a fresh, green, citrus-woody note is wanted. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use massage oil or perfume. Why we love it: Petitgrain has a beautifully balanced scent that feels fresh, calming, and quietly refined.

It is especially lovely in blends where you want something citrusy but softer and greener than a peel oil, with a more grounding edge for body and evening rituals.
