Petitgrain Paraguay

Petitgrain Paraguay, released by The Merchant of Venice in 2023 and composed by Nisrine Bouazzaoui Grillié, is a purely green fragrance devoted to a single material: petitgrain, including the Paraguayan variety that gives the scent its name. It is worn by anyone.

Petitgrain is distilled from the leaves and twigs of the bitter orange tree, and it smells quite different from the fruit. It gives a fresh, green and slightly bitter aroma, with a woody, leafy dryness and a faint hint of orange blossom. The Paraguayan type is known for its clean, slightly herbal sharpness. Here it is the whole story, so the fragrance reads as one clear, crisp impression of crushed leaves and green twigs rather than a sequence of notes.

Its bright, green character suits spring and summer, daytime wear, the office and moments when a clean, refreshing scent is wanted. It is likely to appeal to lovers of minimal, single-note colognes.
