We source only pure essential oils.
Though Petitgrain Paraguayan Essential Oil is distilled from the leaves and branches of the bitter orange tree, ours is like finding yourself surrounded by an orange grove in full bloom. The orange most certainly peeks through the complex layers of the aroma, but instead of the overt burst of citrus that is expected of the fruit oil or the sharper, greener notes of other petitgrains, the Paraguayan petitgrain we carry exudes a smooth, floral bouquet blended perfectly with the fresh scent of crushed orange leaves.
Rich in both linalyl acetate and linalool, this petitgrain could be used similarly to how you would use lavender oil and would be an excellent option for creating a calming and peaceful atmosphere. It could be particularly helpful for children who could benefit from the relaxing and comforting qualities of the oil. Uplifting citrus or even some of the more heady florals would make lovely additions to a blend featuring this essential oil!

I’ve never been a fan of Petitgrain. Several people said I had to try this one. They were right! It’s brighter, fresher, more floral and has that touch of Neroli citrus coming through and just melts my nervous tension away. It’s really nice!

The best petit grain I have found. It’s close to Neroli

I was pleasantly surprised! Perfumey but not very sweet. It’s lovely

I tried a sample of this petitgrain and couldn’t believe how wonderful it was! It’s very similar to neroli imo and smells nothing like the typical petitgrain I’ve smelled (which I hate) that smells like sticks. This will definitely be one of my next purchases.

I had heard some Petitgrain EOs have the fragrance of Orange blossoms, rather than the typical Petitgrain twang. Based on the website description of this Paraguayan version, I thought this might be one. It is! No need for other Petitgrains or Nerolis with this around. It’s wonderful. Orange blossoms, but not as syrupy sweet like Neroli. A bit softer when dry. Lovely.

Paraguayan Petitgrain is a dream come true! From some one who dislikes the “sharpness/twang” of other petitgrains, to the point of avoidance in any blend, I was delighted to experience such softness, lovely, and oh so much gentler than any other petitgrains I have encountered previously. Game changer!
