Petitgrain (Bigarade) Organic Essential Oil ( Citrus x aurantium)
The scent of this unique oil is sweet, yet slightly tart – fresh, with delicate green and citrus notes. It is permeated by a subtle floral note, reminiscent of orange blossoms (neroli), complemented by a subtle woody accent that gives the composition depth and harmony.
It is the high content of linalyl acetate and linalool that makes this oil so unique – it has a calming and soothing effect, while at the same time enveloping the senses with an extremely refined aroma.
