What other people think
'It is perhaps misleading to think of Petitgrain only as an alternative to Neroli or other citrus oils, for it is a useful aromatherapy oil in its own right. It has several applications in skin care as it helps to regulate over-production of sebum and is a gentle but effective antiseptic' - an excerpt from Aromatherapy an A - Z by Patricia Davis.
'Another name for Petitgrain is 'poor man's Neroli'. It comes from the bitter orange tree but unlike Neroli, which is distilled from the flowers, Petitgrain is obtained by distilling the leaves and young tips of the twigs.' - an excerpt from Pregnancy Book by Jennie Supper.
