The enticing aroma of our organic Bergamot Essential Oil is cooling and sweet with tangy citrus and crisp green notes and subtle florals. This juicy uplifting and well crafted essential oil is very popular in aromatherapy and perfumery. It is pressed from the organic peels of a small, bitter, pear shaped bergamot citrus grown in Calabria, Italy. This region of Italy is well known for their citrus due to its ideal growing climate and soil conditions. Bergamot is used extensively in perfumery for its sweet freshness. It can be found in many high class perfumes and is particularly suited for citrus colognes, chypres, fougeres, sweet florals and fantasy bases.
