Description
Petitgrain Essential Oil is a citrus oil derived from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (Botanical name - Citrus aurantium var. amara). It possesses a fresh, floral, and slightly woody aroma with hints of citrus.
Plant Part Used
The essential oil is extracted from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, distinct from other citrus oils which are typically derived from the fruit peel.
Extraction Process:
Petitgrain Essential Oil is commonly extracted through steam distillation. The leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree are subjected to steam, which carries the aromatic compounds. The steam is then condensed, separating the essential oil from the water.
