Description
Petitgrain, (Citrus aurantium) – Relaxing and soothing. Petitgrain is soft, herbal and floral like the aroma of crushed orange leaves (whereas Neroli is from orange blossoms, and orange oil is from the peels of the orange fruit itself). It can help you relax and cast off stress and worry. You can help create a healthy and calm atmosphere by diffusing a few drops of Petitgrain. Some who use Petitgrain say it helps them feel inspired and emotionally uplifted. Applied topically, it can be used to help treat blemishes and promote glowing, healthy skin. Linalool notes make this a good oil for blending with Lavender

Very fresh and herbaceous scent. I use it at night in the diffuser to help unwind and destress. It’s got a mind-clearing, calming effect that helps with getting to sleep easily.

Davina’s distillation of petitgrain adds a revitalising zap of freshness and sunlit energy to my day. I bought the 30ml version because I use it up so quickly! Vaporised by itself, or in a blend with rose geranium, it releases a beautiful fragrance of being in a citrus orchard. One of my favourite – thank you Davina :)
