DESCRIPTION
Bring a touch of the Mediterranean into your home with Petitgrain (Sicily) Essential Oil. Extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, this oil blends citrusy brightness with herbal complexity for a refreshing, well-rounded scent. Native to Southeast Asia, the bitter orange tree now thrives across the Mediterranean and subtropical regions worldwide.
Originally, this oil was produced from unripe oranges, which were the size of cherries. Its name, "petit grain," comes from the French for ‘little grain.’ Today, the oil is extracted from the tree’s leaves and twigs and is widely used in perfumery and cosmetics.
Ideal for diffusing or adding to personal care products, it helps create a balanced, soothing environment wherever it’s used.
