Petitgrain 

Botanical Name: Citrus Aurantium

Botany and Origins: Petitgrain essential oil is distilled from the fresh aromatic leaves and green twigs of the bitter Orange tree, or Seville orange. Its blossoms are the source for Neroli oil. Soothing Petitgrain blends well with Bergamot, Jasmine, Lavender and Palmarosa.

Blending: 

Aromatic blending is a combination of creativity and science. Essential oils will evaporate at different rates because of their molecular compositions. Oils that evaporate the quickest, usually within 1-2 hours, are called top notes. Oils that evaporate within 2-4 hours are considered middle notes and oils that take the longest time to evaporate - up to a few days - are referred to as base notes. Each of our oils have the fragrance 'Note' listed on the bottle. We recommend the following formula in creating your personal blend: Top note: 2-3 drops; Middle note: 4-8 drops; Base note: 1-3 drops. 

We can feel a little different each day, so follow your nose and intuition when blending for your personal preference. 

Use: 2-3 drops in diffuser, full body bath, foot bath or diluted in 10ml carrier oil for massage. A few drops in cooking. 

Plant Compounds: 

These are beneficial natural plant compounds and they differ between each essential oil, giving each oil its distinct natural properties.
