BERGAMOT ESS. FRC 100% NAT.OIL (Calabria) – citrus, fresh and floral essential oil with hints of green tea, white flowers and sweet peel

BERGAMOT ESS. FRC 100% NAT.OIL (Calabria)

Natural bergamot essential oil with a citrus, fresh and floral character. The profile is bright and refined, with green, slightly bitter and sweet nuances supported by the natural presence of linalool and linalyl acetate.

Olfactory profile

Citrusy, fresh, luminous, green and floral. It is a classic and highly versatile top note, useful for adding opening, naturalness and lift to citrus, floral, aromatic, chypre and fougère compositions.

Origin and processing

Bergamot is closely linked to the citrus-growing tradition of Calabria. The expressed oil is obtained from the peel of the fruit by mechanical processing, without distillation.

Function in the formula

It can brighten the top of the composition, connect citrus and flowers and create a more natural transition toward aromatic, woody and musky notes. It pairs particularly well with other citrus materials, neroli, petitgrain, lavender, rose, jasmine, woods and chypre accords.

Phototoxicity and skin use

Expressed bergamot oil naturally contains furanocoumarins, including bergapten, and may present phototoxicity in skin applications. For this reason, the level in the finished product must comply with the applicable IFRA restrictions for the relevant use category. Oils treated to reduce or remove furanocoumarins may have a different regulatory profile.

Storage

Like other citrus essential oils, it is sensitive to light, heat, air and oxidation. Store tightly closed, cool and protected from light.

Packaging

The product is packed to order; the container may vary depending on the selected format and the characteristics of the raw material.

IFRA Category 4: max 100% nel prodotto finito (IFRA 51)

The value refers to the maximum concentration in the finished product, not to the percentage of the raw material in the fragrance concentrate.
