Bergamot Essential Oil Organic Cold Pressed 10ml

Bright, citrus-like and gently sweet, this organic bergamot essential oil brings a clean lift to a diffuser blend or quiet aromatherapy ritual. Cold pressed from the fruit peel of Citrus bergamia, it keeps the fresh, zesty character of the bergamot orange close to the fruit itself.

The scent in the room

• The first impression is clear citrus, fresh and lightly sparkling rather than sharp.
• A soft sweetness follows, giving the aroma a rounded, approachable feel.
• It suits morning rituals, workspaces and slower evening moments when you want a clean, lifted scent.
• In blends, bergamot is often used as a bright top note, adding freshness without feeling cold.
• It pairs naturally with other citrus, soft florals, gentle woods and resinous aromas.

Cold pressed from bergamot peel

This oil comes from the peel of the bergamot fruit, botanically known as Citrus bergamia. It is cold pressed, a method that expresses aromatic oil from the rind rather than distilling it with steam. That matters for scent: the result stays close to the fruit peel, with a bright citrus opening and a sweeter, softer edge.

Bergamot in perfumery and tradition

Bergamot has a long place in Mediterranean growing regions and European scent culture. Its name is often linked with Bergamo in Lombardy, where bergamot oil was historically traded. In perfumery, bergamot is valued for the way it opens a fragrance, giving freshness and light before deeper notes settle in. It is also familiar through Earl Grey tea, where bergamot gives the blend its distinctive citrus-floral character.

How to use it with care

Add a few drops to a suitable diffuser, or blend with a carrier oil before applying to skin. Essential oils are highly concentrated, so never use them neat on the skin.

Patch test any diluted blend before wider use. Avoid use on skin before sun exposure, as bergamot oil can make skin more sensitive to sunlight. Keep away from children and pets, and seek qualified guidance before using essential oils during pregnancy.

Common questions

Can I use bergamot essential oil directly on my skin?
No. Dilute it with a suitable carrier oil first, then patch test before wider use.

Is bergamot a good blending oil?
Yes. Bergamot is commonly used as a fresh citrus top note, especially with other citrus oils, florals, woods and resins.

Why should I avoid sun exposure after using it on skin?
Bergamot oil can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. If you use it in a diluted skin blend, avoid exposing that area to the sun afterwards.
