A rich, sweet, fruity scent with a refreshing citrus aroma, Bergamot’s scent has an uplifting and balancing effect on the mind and emotions.

More complex than most citrus oils, Bergamot's middle notes are slightly herbal and somewhat balsamic.

Highly valued in the perfume industry, Bergamot is often used in perfume blends like Eau de Cologne.

Unlike other citrus oils Bergamot has more of a fixative effect. The main chemical constituent of Bergamot oil is Linalyl acetate (an ester), which is also found in high amounts in Lavender oil. For more information about esters, and other organic chemicals found in essential oils, visit the PurePlant Essentials Blog.
