Neroli and petitgrain

Bright orange-flower petals with fresh green edges and possible honeyed or lightly herbal shades. Neroli oil is traditionally distilled from bitter-orange flowers: compare its floral centre with the leaf-and-twig character of petitgrain and the fruit-peel image of orange. It can carry citrus brightness into a floral heart. The note is not orange juice, nor proof of one natural oil in the formula.

Green citrus foliage with dry twig-like wood, herbal freshness and possible soft orange-flower or lavender-like facets. Petitgrain commonly refers to distilled leafy twigs of bitter orange, rather than the flower oil called neroli or oil pressed from peel. It can connect bright citrus to herbs and woods. The small-grain name is not a cereal note; the perfume’s exact plant material and distillation remain unspecified.
