Botanical Name: Citrus bergamia

Main Constituents:
Limonene: 30 - 45%
Linalyl acetate: > 20%
Linalool: > 8%

Plant Part: Fruit Peel

Origin: Italy

Processing Method: Cold Pressed

Description / Color / Consistency: A thin, light yellowish green to yellowish brown liquid.

Aromatic Summary / Note / Strength of Aroma: The aroma is basically citrus, yet fruity and sweet with a warm spicy floral quality, and is reminiscent of Neroli, giving a middle note of medium strength.

Blends With: Black Pepper, Clary Sage, Cypress, Frankincense, Geranium, Jasmine, Mandarin, Nutmeg, Orange, Rosemary, Sandalwood, Vetiver and Ylang-ylang.

Product Abstract: The Bergamot tree can grow up to four meters high, with star-shaped flowers, and smooth leaves, bearing citrus fruit resembling a cross between an orange and a grapefruit but in a pear-shape. The fruit ripens from green to yellow. The name Bergamot is derived from the city Bergamo in Lombardy where the oil was first sold. In this variety, the bergaptene content which causes photosensitivity has been removed. This allows the Bergamot to be used in skin and hair care formulations without concern for phototoxicity after exposure to the sun.

Cautions: This essential oil may contain phototoxic properties and it is suggested to avoid exposure to the sun after application to the skin. Dilute well before use; for external use only. May cause skin irritation in some individuals; a skin test is recommended prior to use. Contact with eyes should be avoided.

Storage: It is recommended that oils packaged in metal containers (for safe shipping) be transferred into dark glass containers to maintain freshness and attain maximum shelf life.

THE BEST Bergamot!!! I think this is one of my top favorite essential oils. It blends so nicely with Patchouli (also from ND and awesome!) and Lavender. I use it in so many beds of my CP soap, as well as in candles. I will never stop buying this as long as it is offered. Not only an excellent value, but best smelling-TOPS!

This Bergamot is a very solid Buy. It smells so wonderful compared to others that I've smelled it has a very distinct grapefruit like smell it is also sweet and tangy it is truly amazing. My favorite part is when the top notes Are gone it smells even more delicious I love using this in homemade soaps and lotions it just adds zest to so many blends I love mixing it with lavender for such a relaxing smell it almost puts you in deep meditative state it's so tranquil. Plus this variety has the bergaptene removed so it is safe to use in skincare and go out in the sun. I will definitely be purchasing more.

Top of the line product. I will not buy an essential oil from anyone else. New Directions has spoiled me. Your products are truly the best. Tried a different supplier to save some money and ended up wasting my money as half the EO’s smelled like poison. This bergamot is the intoxicating and holds very well in cpsoap. It is one of my favorites and blends well with other EO’s.

Absolutely beautiful scent! Flowery, fruity, and citrus-y. Blends well with many flower scents; does not overpower but still comes through well. Works beautifully in CP soaps as well as perfumes. So happy that NDA carries the bergaptene-free one :) Thank you!

This oil reminds me of perfume, but not in a perfume-y way, if that makes sense. I feel it could be perfect mixed with many things to make both sophisticated and sensual scents. I feel all citrus fruits are great for skin and are uplifting and refreshing, and bergamot is a wonderful subtle option. And bergaptene-free!--That's wonderful!

Bergamot offers a sweet citrus smell that's great for various skin conditions (such as psoriasis and eczema). Some of the reviews below state that the oil is a bit too sharp for them, etc., but I actually find the oil really warm and sweet. It's not sharp like lemon or lime oils. It has a fruity floral quality that's a bit intoxicating.... it definitely has that warm sweet quality of fruit and floral notes that lavender has (if that makes any sense). It's great for blends in soap. And because it's bergaptene free, you don't have to worry about it being phototoxic.

This is a great oil, not one of my absolute favorites, but quite versatile nonetheless in making perfumes. It's definitely citrusy and also quite sharp. In addition, it has a floral quality to it. It's pretty strong right out of the bottle, so a little goes a long way.

Like the previous review stated, not that warm slightly peppery Bergamot that I am used to, but sharper and crisper and more heavily weighted to the sweet citrusy side. Still, a wonderful scent and free from Bergaptene.

I think bergaptene free bergamot oil smells better than just bergamot oil. I bough both versions. Originally, I thought the bergaptene version smelled weaker because it had go through the process of taking out bergaptene, but actually, the treated version smelled more floral and not bitter (compared to the original). I wish both versions would smell stronger though.

New Directions' Bergamot Essential Oil is wonderful and rich. It works well alone or with other aromatic blends to use in lotions or butters or oils (as I use in my applications). I highly recommend this essential oil to anyone wishing to experiment or to try a new supplier. You cannot go wrong with either the quality or the price point.
