Sourced from the leaves and twigs of Citrus aurantium cultivated in Paraguay and southern Italy, this essential oil is steam distilled to preserve its aromatic integrity. Its composition is dominated by linalyl acetate and linalool, supported by minor terpenes that contribute freshness and structure. The opening is crisp, green, and slightly floral, combining citrus brightness with herbaceous nuances. Its volatility is moderate, allowing it to bridge effectively between top and heart phases. Compared to neroli, it is less floral and more structured. In perfumery, petitgrain functions as a transition material, linking citrus openings to floral and aromatic hearts while enhancing clarity, freshness, and compositional balance. This product is exclusively sourced from Aromaseed for the Indian market
