Frequently asked questions
How does organic petitgrain differ from the standard grade?
Both are 100% pure oil steam distilled from bitter orange leaves and twigs (INCI: Citrus Aurantium Amara Leaf/Twig Oil) of Paraguayan origin. The organic grade comes from organically grown trees, for brands making organic or natural label claims.
What does petitgrain oil smell like?
Fresh, green and woody-floral, with a bittersweet orange-leaf character and a hint of neroli. It is a classic note in eau de cologne and blends well with lavender, bergamot, rosemary and cedarwood.
Can petitgrain oil be used in food?
Yes. It conforms to EU Regulation 1334/2008 for food flavouring use (FEMA 2855), subject to the usual formulation considerations. It is Kosher certified and vegan; the SDS, IFRA certificate and EU allergens declaration are available.
What pack sizes are available?
From 100 ml up to a 5 kg pack, all priced online. For larger regular volumes, ask us for a bulk quote.
