Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil

Bergamot oil is a cold-pressed essential oil extracted from the peel of Citrus aurantium bergamia fruit, primarily cultivated in the Calabria region of Italy. This distinctive citrus oil is prized for its unique Earl Grey tea-like aroma that combines fresh citrus top notes with subtle floral undertones, making it a popular choice in luxury fragrances and aromatherapy products. Formulators value bergamot oil not only for its sophisticated scent profile but also for its natural antimicrobial properties, though it requires careful handling due to its photosensitizing bergapten content.
