Orange Leaves
Orange Leaves offer a fresh, green aroma with subtle citrus undertones, capturing the invigorating essence of an orange grove. Their bright and zesty character is balanced by a soft herbaceous quality, evoking a sense of vitality and renewal. In perfumery, orange leaves add a crisp, verdant facet that pairs beautifully with floral, citrus, and woody accords, enhancing the composition with a natural, uplifting vibrancy.
History & Production: Orange leaves, also known as petitgrain, are derived from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree. Traditionally harvested in regions like the Mediterranean and South America, the essential oil is extracted through steam distillation. Revered for its versatility, orange leaf oil has been used in both perfumery and aromatherapy for centuries, symbolizing freshness and rejuvenation.
