Petitgrain Water Absolute
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma of petitgrain water absolute is very potent, and as I have come to learn, flooding a good sized living space just from adding a few drops to the smelling strip! A green heart note material, quite heady, bursting with intense green petitgrain character, full of watery citrus fresh nuances and noticeable woody undertones. The heart is more of the same but with noticeable clean leafy qualities and striking vegetative back notes.
Petitgrain water absolute aka orange brouts absolute is a solvent extracted material from orange leaves hydrolate. With its dark green colour and dark deep scent this absolute needs to be used with a light hand.
Used sparingly it imparts leafy freshness and naturalness to almost all compositions, can be used in colognes, citrus and wood accords, a must for building petitgrain and neroli notes, improving modern green accords and floral bouquets.”
Botanical Name: Citrus aurantium var. amara
Origin: Morocco

Mouthwatery and fresh like the traditional citrus water of orange blossom we use for sweets here in Cyprus..so tempting to drink it..

I adore petitgrain, neroli, orange blossom.
I buy some of every one I can find – good or bad.
This is not something I have experienced before: this opens with cucumber, fragrant, fresh cucumber!
This lends this petitgrain, an open air feeling, a bigness about it. It is exotic, light. The citrus is still there: a light floral sweetness, but there is an added complexity.
This is diffusive w/o overwhelming, and it has some tenacity, it will last a good while on the strip.
Definitely a happy discovery, very unusual.

Leans towards Neroli and is beautiful with light woods. Feels a lot less “vegetable matter-vegetal” than Petitgrain essential oil. It gives lift and clarity in a blend.

I totally agree with Adam, this is initially a veeery green and pungent material. Its greeness is defenitely much more pronounced comparing to petigrain oil. It keeps a citrus profile, but here it is all about orange leaves!
