| Over a decade ago I fell in love with Clementine Oil. As complex and multi-layered as a good Red Mandarine, but sweeter. The sweetness of Sweet Orange Rind or Tangerine, but more subtle. Almost a touch of floral to it. I love this deep reddish orange oil, but... the Spanish producer of that first, organic Clementine stopped producing it. And I won't use, or offer, non-organic cold pressed Citrus oils. So we have been without this delight for years. It is a species of Tangerine, for those who have never experienced it, gentle and safe enough to use with toddlers. A mild photosensitizer, and like all citrus oils, mildly irritating to the skin, so I would be very cautious about on the skin use, but ah, for the aroma lamp or diffuser it is a joy. Relaxing, not energizing, it fills the room with calm, quiet, and peace. | ||||||||||

The effects and action of traditional Bitter Orange Petitgrain, but with a softer, sweeter, more noticeably citrus-floral scent. This is my current favorite oil. This Clementine Petitgrain is the closest substitute I have found to true Clementine Rind that I've found when we are unable to source the organic rind oil.. I've been using it in the aroma lamp, for when I don't want to be energized, but just lifted up a little bit. I find it emotionally encouraging, I can't find another word for it. Blended with Vetiver, it works wonderfully as an anti-anxiety and grounding synergy. I like to use a drop before a nap. Pleasant dreams! Like any Petitgrain Essential Oil, this is an emotionally a powerful oil, calming anxiety and panic, acting as an antidepressant. Physically, it tends to be a sedative, which agrees with its relaxing effect on the mind. Some authorities recommend it for treating rapid heartbeat, and for insomnia. I have also seen it used in recipes for deodorant blends. If you want the uplifting smile bringing effects of a citrus oil, without energizing and with no risk of photosensitization, you owe it to yourself to try this beauty! Blends well with: Bergamot, Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Geranium, Lavender, Lime, Jasmine, Neroli, Orange, Palma Rosa, Rosemary, Rosewood, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang. |
