Several essential oils are coming from this tree:

• petitgrain bigarade EO (leaves) whose main properties are close to that of the fine lavender EO.
• neroli EO (flower): it is recognized for its anti-anxiety and anti-depressant properties superior to the first one.
• Its fruit, the bitter orange, is not really edible. Indeed, the zest of its fruit provides an essence traditionally used in liqueurs.

The essential oil of Petitgrain bigarade has similar properties to the essential oil of Neroli, but is cheaper than this one
