Bergamot Organic Essential Oil 10ml – Citrus Bergamia | Cold Pressed Mediterranean

Discover the luminous, floral sophistication of pure Organic Bergamot Essential Oil, cold pressed from the fresh peel of Citrus Bergamia sourced from the Mediterranean. Bright, complex and utterly distinctive — with a sparkling citrus freshness, a soft, floral sweetness and a warm, slightly spicy, resinous depth — Bergamot is one of the most elegant, versatile and widely beloved essential oils in the world of aromatherapy and natural perfumery.

Cold pressing — the process of mechanically pressing the oil directly from the fresh fruit peel without heat — preserves the full, vibrant aromatic character of the bergamot in its most natural and unadulterated form, capturing the same luminous, floral-citrus freshness as zesting a ripe bergamot in your hands. The bergamot fruit — a small, fragrant citrus believed to be a hybrid of the bitter orange and the citron — is cultivated almost exclusively along the sun-drenched coastal strip of Calabria in southern Italy, where the unique combination of soil, climate and sea air produces a fruit of extraordinary aromatic complexity found nowhere else on earth.

Bergamot has been treasured in Italian folk medicine and perfumery since the 17th century, when the oil was first sold in the city of Bergamo in northern Italy — from which it takes its name. It rose to global fame as the defining ingredient of Earl Grey tea, whose characteristic floral-citrus fragrance is entirely due to the addition of Bergamot oil — one of the most recognisable and beloved aromatic signatures in the world. In perfumery, Bergamot is one of the most important and widely used ingredients of all time — a classic top note in countless iconic fragrances, from Eau de Cologne to Chanel No. 5, prized for its extraordinary ability to lift, brighten and harmonise any composition.

With its luminous, uplifting and beautifully complex aromatic character, Bergamot Essential Oil is an indispensable and endlessly versatile addition to any aromatherapy collection or natural perfumery palette.
