From the leaves of the bitter orange

Once distilled from unripe little oranges — hence the name "petit grain".

- Steam-distilled from the leaves and young twigs of Citrus aurantium, the same tree that gives us neroli and bitter orange.

- Historically produced in Paraguay, southern France and North Africa, where it became a staple of classic eau de cologne.

- Its name means "little grain" — a nod to the tiny unripe oranges originally used for distillation.

Use in low dilution (max 1%) for children over 3 years old; avoid on infants.
