Petitgrain is produced from the leaves and twigs of the same tree that produces bitter orange oil and neroli or orange blossom oil. The name derives from the fact that the oil used to be extracted from the small green unripe oranges – “little grains”. Petitgrain is one of the ingredients in classic eau de cologne.
