Petitgrain Lemon Essential Oil
Details
Lemon Petitgrain Essential Oil is a rare oil. It is used in perfumes and has a very sweet lemon scent with green undertones. In skin care, it is a wonderful cleanser and toner. Diffuse Lemon Petitgrain into the air to refresh and sanitize the environment. Lemon is derived from the Arab laimun and Persian limun meaning citrus. The nerol in Lemon Petitgrain is almost as high as that found in Neroli which makes this the most pleasing scent of the Petitgrains. There is a Petitgrain from every citrus as the citrus oil comes from the peel and the petitgrain comes from the leaf. The petitgrains are not distilled as frequently as the peel so they tend to be rare.
