I recently purchased this oil after not having it in my essential oil's selection for about a year or so, and I must say that I'm glad it's back. This oil blends well with just about everything, but I especially love it with lavender.

Used in an aroma therapy balm with floral waxes and lavender EO. The herby citrus scent of the petitgrain was a very nice addition that balanced out the florals. I like it!

Very fresh scent and almost soapy! I don't know at least that how I smell it. I really like it. Will combine very well with citrus oils!

Appreciating this oil more & more! It has such a calming smell to it. Such a positive feeling when using this oil. Mainly used this so far just for my face, and definitely can tell a difference in my skin. Will continue to use and see how it goes. Look forward to experimenting this with a lot more things.

Customers love it and ask what it is that smells so good. When I tell them most have never heard of it. Love playing with it in scent blends as a secret ingredient.

I have been blending this petitgrain with bitter orange and a touch of neroli in a mist and my customers and I both LOVE it - it is quickly becoming one of our best sellers this season! A wonderful light scent at a fabulous price!

I much prefer this to an Italian variety I also have - it's much less bitter, more powdery-floral, more similar to neroli. The topnote has a nice depth and sweetness.
