Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot Essential Oil (Citrus bergamia) – From Italy
Introduction & Origin
Bergamot essential oil is cold-pressed from the rind of the Citrus bergamia fruit, a fragrant citrus native to southern Italy, particularly Calabria. The oil is prized for its unique balance of bright citrus and soft floral notes. Our Bergamot is responsibly sourced and carefully extracted to preserve its vibrant aroma and therapeutic properties.
Scent Profile
Bergamot offers a fresh, sweet, and slightly tangy citrus scent with delicate floral undertones. It’s less sharp than lemon but brighter than orange, making it a beautiful top note in fragrance blends. Pairs well with lavender, geranium, rosemary, clary sage, and patchouli.
Aromatherapy Benefits
Bergamot is celebrated for its ability to lift the spirits and reduce feelings of anxiety, tension, and low mood. Its calming yet uplifting nature makes it a popular oil in blends for relaxation and emotional balance. It may also support digestive health and skin clarity when used appropriately in diluted form. Its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a go-to in both skincare and home fragrance.
Emotional & Energetic Properties
Energetically, Bergamot is considered a heart-opening oil, promoting joy, self-love, and optimism. It is associated with the solar plexus and heart chakras, and is said to gently clear emotional stagnation and promote inner peace and confidence.
Bergamot is one of our true essentials. Its bright, uplifting character features in many of our blends - there are very few fragrances that don’t benefit from a touch of this gorgeous citrus. Whether paired with florals, woods, or other zesty notes, bergamot adds a fresh, feel-good lift that ties every combination together.
