Petitgrain Bigarade is the extraction of the foliage from bitter orange trees (the fruit of which is used for classic Sevile orange marmalade). Of all the petitgrain oils, this is probably the most widely used for fine fragrance.
This oil is extracted exclusively from the bitter orange tree making it the finest type, different from the lower quality so-called “Bigarade (Paraguay)” variants that flood the market. Petitgrain paraguay is extracted from hybrid trees which cross the bitter orange with sweet (or other) varieties. Pure Petitgran Bigarade is much more rare and considerably more beautiful.

General Information
General Information
Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.
All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.
