Great in diffuser
I like petitgrain for its optimistic and uplifting effect on the mind. This one is generally what one would expect, but i would say it has a more complex character than some. ALong with the green citrus like aroma there is a little woodiness as well - which adds a bit more of a grounded feel. In a massage mix this is a reviving aroma with an element that is calming and centering.
