Petitgrain Essential Oil

Petitgrain has often been called “man’s lavender” as it contains much of the same chemistry and benefits of lavender, but without the floral scent. Petitgrain oil is sourced from the same kind of trees as Neroli oil, it just comes from the leaves and twigs instead of buds. Petitgrain is calming, uplifting, and is great for the skin.
