Petitgrain Sur Fleurs

🌿 Introduction
Petitgrain Sur Fleurs Essential Oil is a rare, elegant, and delicately floral distillation from the leaves, twigs, and blossoms of the bitter orange tree ( Citrus aurantium var. amara ).
Unlike classic Petitgrain, which uses only the leaves and stems, “Sur Fleurs” (French for “with flowers”) includes fresh orange blossoms in the distillation, creating an oil that beautifully bridges the green brightness of Petitgrain and the soft sensuality of Neroli .
Its scent is fresh yet romantic — a luminous balance of citrus leaf, white petals, and gentle woodiness.
In perfumery, Petitgrain Sur Fleurs is prized as a heart note that connects green, floral, and citrus accords with grace and natural harmony.
In aromatherapy, it represents emotional balance, clarity, and inner calm , offering the tranquility of leaves blended with the optimism of flowers.
At Herbsmetics, this refined essence is showcased in our Perfume & Aromatherapy Workshops in Phuket , where guests learn how the interplay of plant parts shapes the personality of a fragrance .
