Organic Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil

Are you looking for a floral-woody and highly balancing essential oil, rich in linalyl acetate and linalool, derived from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, with a fresh-woody scent that is slightly floral and often associated with relaxation and emotional balance? The Organic Petitgrain Bigarade Essential Oil from Herbes et Traditions (Citrus aurantium ssp amara, leaves) is distilled from the leaves and small branches of the bitter orange tree. With 45-60% linalyl acetate and 20-30% linalool, its highly balanced ester-alcohol profile gives it a widely appreciated woody-floral-citrus scent. 10ml. Ecocert organic certified.

Aromatic and cosmetic profile

• Balanced profile: linalyl acetate (45-60%) + linalool (20-30%): an ester-alcohol combination similar to bergamot but with a more woody-herbaceous character, less floral and less citrusy.
• Highly balanced woody-floral-citrus scent: fresh, light, simultaneously woody, slightly floral, and citrus. One of the most harmonious and versatile profiles in aromatherapy. Appeals to almost everyone.
• Cosmetic care for oily and dry skin: sebum-balancing, appreciated in natural cosmetics for combination skin and facial care.
• 10ml: Ecocert Organic. Herbes et Traditions.

FAQ

What is the difference between petitgrain bigarade, neroli, and bitter orange zest oil?
Three products from the same tree (Citrus aurantium ssp amara): neroli is distilled from the flowers (the most expensive, the most floral); petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs (woody-floral, affordable); bitter orange zest EO is cold-pressed from the zest (bitter citrus, photosensitizing). Three very different profiles from the same tree.

Is petitgrain non-photosensitizing?
Yes, this is an important advantage. Distilled from leaves and not the zest, Petitgrain Bigarade EO does not contain photosensitizing furanocoumarins. It can be applied to skin exposed to the sun, unlike cold-pressed citrus oils.

Can you combine petitgrain and neroli?
Yes, both are from the bitter orange tree and combine naturally. Petitgrain (woody-floral, accessible) + neroli (pure floral, precious): a complete "bigarade" accord. Petitgrain is used in larger quantities, neroli as a finishing touch.
