PETITGRAIN PARAGUAY ESSENTIAL OIL – Citrus, green and floral essential oil with hints of orange leaves, lavender and bitter bergamot

PETITGRAIN PARAGUAY ESSENTIAL OIL

PETITGRAIN PARAGUAY is an essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs of Citrus aurantium. It is one of the most useful natural materials for connecting citrus, aromatic notes and white flowers: less bright than bergamot, greener than neroli and with a more herbaceous and woody structure.

Olfactory profile

Citrusy, green, floral and aromatic, with nuances of orange leaf, lavender, bitter bergamot and pale wood. The character is fresh but not juicy: it recalls leaf and twig more than fruit pulp.

In formula

PETITGRAIN PARAGUAY is particularly effective in cologne, neroli, fougère, lavender, citrus, orange blossom and green accords. It can add more structure to a citrus top, make a neroli accord less sweet and more natural-feeling and create an elegant bridge toward lavender, woods and musks.

With BERGAMOT it builds a more complex freshness: bergamot adds light and juiciness, while petitgrain adds leaf, bitterness and structure. With LINALOOL and LINALYL ACETATE it reinforces the natural character of lavender and neroli.

Origin and character

The profile of petitgrain depends greatly on botanical origin and distillation. Paraguay quality is traditionally associated with a decisive, green, gently bitter and floral character, with a good presence of linalool and linalyl acetate.

When to choose it

It is particularly suitable for cologne, neroli, fougère, lavender, citrus and green florals when a more leafy, bitter and structured natural freshness than bergamot is desired.
