Botanical profile :
The bitter orange tree is a tree belonging to the Rutaceae family and the genus Citrus L.
The Rutaceae family includes all citrus fruits, as well as plants such as buchu and amyris.
Chemotypes :
The Citrus L. genus, which includes the vast majority of citrus fruits, contains a large number of varieties used in perfumery:
- Citrus × aurantium L.: Bitter orange tree, cultivated in Spain and Florida. Orange oil expressed (Bitter) / Orange oil (Bitter) / Petitgrain bigarade oil / Petitgrain bigarade absolute / Petitgrain oil (Paraguay) / Orange flower absolute (Bitter) / Orange flower concrete (Bitter) / Orange flower SFE (Bitter)
- Citrus × aurantiifolia (Christm.) Swingle: The lime tree, mostly cultivated in Mexico. Lime oil expressed / Lime oil distilled
- Citrus × bergamia Risso: The bergamot tree, a hybrid of lemon and bitter orange, cultivated for its fruit and petitgrain oils. Bergamot oil expressed / Petitgrain bergamot absolute.
- Citrus hystrix DC.: Kaffir lime, grown in Thailand and India. Kaffir lime oil.
- Citrus × junos Siebold ex Yu.Tanaka: Yuzu, produced in Japan and Korea. Yuzu oil / Citrus junos oil / Citrus junos extract
- Citrus × limon (L.) Burm.fil.: The lemon tree, cultivated in Italy for its fruit and leafy branches. Lemon oil / Lemon oil (distilled, rectified) / Petitgrain lemon oil
- Citrus × paradisi Macfad.: The grapefruit tree, of Malay origin, cultivated in Brazil and Israel for its fruit’s essential oil. Grapefruit oil / Grapefruit flower oil / Grapefruit oil expressed
- Citrus sinensis L.: The sweet orange tree, widely cultivated in Brazil and California, is the most used citrus in perfumery. Orange flower absolute (Sweet) / Orange flower concrete (Sweet) / Orange flower SFE (Sweet) / Orange cold pressed (Sweet)
- Citrus reticulata Blanco: The mandarin tree, especially cultivated in Italy for its fruit and petitgrain (leaf oil). Mandarin oil (red) / Mandarin oil (yellow) / Mandarin oil (green) / Petitgrain mandarin oil. Its hybrid with sweet orange gave rise to the clementine (Clementine oil).
- Citrus medica L.: The citron tree, grown in Sicily. Citron oil.
Extractions & Uses
Extraction process :
The bigaradier is a tree about 3 meters tall in adulthood, whose leaves contain a strong fragrant principle.
The essential oil of petitgrain bigarade results from the extraction of the deciduous branches with water. The twigs are cut so the tree is left as a shrub. The branches are stored in a large cart before they are brought to the factory where they are directly steam distilled.
After the hydrodistillation, the water found in the distillate is called ''eau de brout ''. The essential oil is collected by decantation, above the eau de brout.
The extraction yield of petitgrain bigarade is between 0.2 and 0.4%.
The bigaradier gives many extracts. The bitter orange EO is obtained by cold expression, the petitgrain can be extracted by steam distillation and the Orange Blossom Absolute is obtained by extraction with volatile solvent, unlike Neroli EO, which results from an extraction with water directly with the flowers.
Uses in perfumery :
Used in fougere, children's eaux de toilette and colognes.

Other comments :
Initially, the term petitgrain was used to name the small green fruits produced by the bitter orange.
In Paraguay, the bitter orange barely flourishes. It is therefore a hybrid between the bitter orange and the sweet orange tree that is cultivated.
Paraguay remains the main grower of petitgrain.
Citrus currently suffer from a disease called ''citrus greening ''. This disease is deadly for citrus fruits and no treatment exists. It is transmitted by a vector insect that attacks young shoots: the psylla. This results in the premature death of many trees and therefore the decline in the general production of the essential oil and its quality.
