The Professor's Insight: The Scent Profile
Bergamot is a classic Top Note, yet among citrus oils it is the most "noble" and complex. Unlike Lemon (fresh-acidic) or Orange (sweet-warm), Bergamot has an elegant, slightly bitter character. It is the foundation of the famous Earl Grey tea and countless luxury perfumes. In blends, it harmonises floral notes and anchors base notes.
🌱 The Plant
Citrus bergamia is a unique citrus fruit that grows mainly in southern Italy. The warm climate, mineral-rich soils, and sea breeze create ideal conditions for the development of the precious essential oils in the fruit peel.
Harvesting takes place between November and March, while the fruits are still green. Cold pressing of the peels – without heat or solvents – preserves the complete aromatic profile. Bergamot oil has been valued for centuries in Italian tradition and international perfumery.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I best use bergamot oil?
For room fragrance, add 3-5 drops to your diffuser or aroma lamp. For a massage, dilute 2-3 drops in 10 ml of carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba). For an aromatic bath, mix 5-7 drops with an emulsifier (honey or cream) before adding to the water.
Is bergamot oil phototoxic?
Yes. Like all cold-pressed citrus oils, bergamot contains furocoumarins that can increase skin sensitivity to UV rays. After applying to skin, avoid direct sun exposure for at least 12 hours.
Can I apply the oil directly to my skin?
Never undiluted! Essential oils must always be diluted in a carrier oil. For bergamot, we recommend a maximum dilution of 2% (approximately 2-3 drops per 10 ml of carrier oil).
Is the oil suitable for children?
Essential oils should be used with great caution around young children. We recommend consulting a professional before use and using only in very low dilution in a diffuser in large, well-ventilated rooms.
