Petitgrain oil citronnier is produced by steam distilling the foliage from lemon trees. Less common than bigarade petitigrain (from bitter orange), this is a wonderful material to add interest and lift to a fragrance. It blends exceedingly well with other members of the citrus family which it modifies and extends, most especially lemon, lime and cedrat. Try it with our Lemon Verbena and Verdantol. Petitgrain citronnier was a vital part of the petitgrain fond in the original Green Irish Tweed by Creed (see our demo formula Tartan Dream below) where it was blended with petitgrain paraguay and petitgrain bergamotier (from the bergamot tree).
