Bergamot Essential Oil

Bergamot opens with a luminous citrus freshness, balanced by gentle floral and lightly bitter nuances. Less sharp than lemon and more refined than orange, it carries an airy sweetness with subtle green and aromatic undertones. The result is crisp yet smooth, offering freshness without aggression and elegance without heaviness.

Bergamot functions primarily as a top note, providing sparkle and immediate appeal while helping to unify more complex structures beneath.

Recommended concentration: <25%

Blends beautifully with:
Florals (rose, jasmine, neroli, lavender)
Woods (cedarwood, sandalwood)
Resins (frankincense, benzoin)
Aromatic and fougère structures

Suitable for non-perfumery applications including colognes, skincare, soaps, candles, and home fragrance

It is indispensable in colognes, chypres, fougères, and modern fresh florals.
