Understanding the material
IFF identifies twigs and leaves for its Tunisian petitgrain bigarade oil. Neroli and orange blossom absolute instead concern blossoms, while peel oils come from fruit peel. Petitgrain from other citrus species also exists, so the botanical qualifier is meaningful. The three materials are related by plant context, not interchangeable because their names suggest orange.
Compare petitgrain with neroli and bergamot. Try to distinguish leafy bitterness, flower-like freshness and peel-like sparkle.
