petitgrain

Green, slightly bitter, woody-citrus. Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree (the same tree that gives us neroli from its flowers and bergamot from its fruit). Reads sharper and drier than orange. Workhorse note in classic eau de cologne formulas.

Also known as: petitgrain bigarade, bitter orange leaf
