Rating: One of my favorite essential oils and my customers love it, too. The scent is well retained in cold process soaps and candles and I will continue to keep ordering this oil! It is the best smelling Bergamot I have tried--divine!!

Rating: I absolutely love bergamot and when I discovered new directions and their amazing prices and excellent quality oils I ordered the 3.3 oz bottle and I was not disappointed! Smells just like the bergamot from my other oil company only the price is so much better!
By:Stephanie, Blue Springs, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Dec-2018
Rating: Beautiful bergamot! I am still new to New Directions but so far I have absolutely loved everything I've gotten!
By:Stephanie, Blue Springs, Missouri Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 24-Dec-2018
Rating: I had been a long time without bergamot, missing it terribly. I am 100% in love with this bergamot. I am very ill and must take quite a few prescriptions, My body and head (pain) and the ups and downs, ins and outs of anxiety and depression and my migraines are all extremely happy to have it back in my life. Also, the quality and pricing made the empty bottle run away in shame.
Thank you, Kimmy!
By:Kim, Ellsworth, Maine Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 30-Nov-2019
Rating: This is my absolute favorite EO and I have been able to find this quality anywhere else. It's citrus with some floral and spice.
By:Cheryl, Charlotte, North Carolina Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 10-Nov-2005
Rating: Wonderful bergamot! Clean, fresh, green with a hint of citrus. Great alone or blended.
By:Monica, Raleigh, North Carolina
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 06-Oct-2009
Rating: This is an exquisite bergamot! I previously purchased bergamot EO from another supplier. I loved it, but NDA's is far superior, with a wonderful complexity the (somewhat cheaper) bergamot from the other supplier lacked.
Rating: I'm downright shocked about this one. LOVELY!!! I am very picky about citrus scents and tend to not prefer the majority of them, but this is wonderful!
I'm very thankful that I purchased this!
Rating: I bought the 3.3 oz without smelling it first and I am very pleased! I had a very expensive Bergamot from another seller that I loved, but I wanted to give ND a try. Wonderful! I have no reason to purchase from anywhere else now. Lovely oil!
By:Ginger, Puyallup, Washington Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 07-Feb-2014
Rating: Beautiful bergamot! A lot of depth. Blends very well.
In my opinion, N.D. has some of the best citrus based scents I have found.
Sicilian Lemon, being my favorite
By:Harry, Oreland, Pennsylvania Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 20-Sep-2012
Rating: This is a nice scent, not at all overwhelming. It's not overly sweet and there's just enough of a masculine note to make it a good unisex scent. It didn't accelerate in my CP soap; so far I haven't used it in an uncolored soap so I don't know if it discolors.
Rating: I love this oil. about a year ago I had surgery on my nose so that I could breath (it had been broken) well there was a spot on my nose that would not heal. about a week ago I started putting bergamot oil on it, it is completely healed and my skin look wonderful.
Rating: I love the smell of Bergamot, it has a spicy citrus scent and is even more wonderful when blended with ginger or clary sage.
By:Lisa, Pellston, Michigan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 03-May-2008
Rating: I like how well this blends with other oils. I used it with Lavender and Chamomile to help my son who couldn't sleep and was a little down. I tried the blend myself too as I have sleeping issues. Slept like a log. Which is unusual for me. Loved how well ND packages and your quality and price are great. Thanks ND!
By:Carolyn, Pleasant Grove, Utah
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 07-Mar-2013
Rating: Love this oil. I have used a few drops in my kiddos bath to help fight eczema, works pretty well from what I can tell so far. Also I created a sanctuary scent for nighttime with this, lavender and cedarwood. It's very soothing and great for nighttime rest.
Rating: What a lovely versatile oil. It mixes well with so many things and brings out the best in other scents. Mixing it with NDA's sweet orange oil made a luscious scent, toning down the cloyingness of the orange leaving just a hint of it's flavor (both the bergamot and orange blended into an entirely new aroma). All in all, this is like lavender in that it goes with so many things and finishes your somewhat unfinished blended scents.
By:M., Irving, Texas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 11-Sep-2012
Rating: This is my first time ever using bergamot, and I have to say that it is so fun to work with. It easily and wonderfully blends with citruses and sage. I'll be coming back for more of this!
By:Cynthia, Oneida, Kentucky Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Oct-2012
Rating: I love this EO! Such a nice, soft scent.
By:Janice, Washingtonville, New York
Date: Loyal Customer Since: 31-May-2010
Rating: Bergamot is a nice clean scent, I mix it with orange in a spray cleanser and it is so fresh and happy making! I would use it more but in body care but I am nervous about the phototoxic effects so next time I will get the bergaptene free just for body use

Rating: Beautifully perfumey citrusy smell.
By:Basil, Woodbridge, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: Very impressed with this oil, strong and exactly what you would expect. Smells just like Earl Grey!
By:Erin, Toronto, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I like this one. It's lIght, fresh, crisp, and citrusy. Smells like a hot cup of Earl Grey tea with an orange slice floating in your teacup. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I found the scent a touch too light.
By:Jeannie, Kamloops, British Columbia Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I love this scent, goes great with grapefruit EO.
By:Jalisa, Brampton, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: I love this oil. I used it in my SLS free shower gel, it has such a great scent!
By:Anita, North York, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is a pleasant citrusy "Earl Grey" scent. Never disappoints. The perfect lightener for my fragrance combinations without skin irritations. Perfect for skin treatments!
Rating: This oil is similar to the mandarin oil in the since that it is more of a sweet citrus. Which i love becuase i really don't like the tart bitter smell of say the lemon or lime oils. This mixes well with Geranium and has made a considerable difference in my skin since i start adding it to facial steams.
By:Lorriane, Gardena, California Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 19-Jan-2010
Rating: I really love the light, sweet, fruity scent of this oil. The after tones of a spicy wood just finishes it off beautifully. I have used it in a few blends, but it would be beautiful on it's own too. I will be adding it to my postpartum blend to help ward off depression. I hope it works as well as I read it does. Very happy with this buy!
By:Jeannette, Red Deer, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This is such a wonderful essential oil either all be itself or mixed with other essential oils! I'm so excited that I can order it in larger quantities through ND!
By:Christy, Sylvan Lake, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005

Rating: I love the scent! Excellent quality!
By:Susan, Whitby, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: NDA Bergamot is one of my staples. I use it in bath water at night, it calms me so I can get a good night's sleep. I use it diluted in lotions and oils for day use to uplift my spirits. My sister was diagnosed with mental illness a few years ago and I would make a blend for her of orange oil, bergamot and rosewood. She always smiled after using it. I made her bath bombs after I found it was the easest way for her to dispense the oils evenly. She even gave some away to people she wanted to bless.
Rating: Perfect Bergamont for all your needs. I add a bit of Bergamont to my diffusion whenever I need a bit of a perk up, or simply when I am feeling down and it does the trick. I also add it to some of my homemade household cleaning products. It gives a more comforting, warm feel to the house over lemon, pine or lavender. Great, Great, GREAT price. Thanks!
By:Michael, Chicago, Illinois Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 05-Dec-2010

By:Jessica, Montreal, Quebec Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: This oil is a must have for everyone... it is so gentle and so versatile. If you are a person who is angry, depressed or stressed out a lot, this oil will be your best friend. Bergamott is a well known antidepressant that soothes the nerves and gives one a fresh outlook. Oh and it smells so wonderful!!! this is that magical ingredient in Earl grey tea. also good for kidney, bladder and yeast infections in a sitz bath... I love this oil!
By:Brandy, Lloydminster, Saskatchewan Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005

Rating: A very special oil I use for my Tan Accelerator, among other products. It tans the skin your own color in one day when formulated correctly - in the sun and/or the Tanning Salon! Fantastic!
By:Jefa, Calgary, Alberta Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005

By:Chloe, Waterloo, Iowa Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 28-Jun-2009
Rating: I love this oil!! I use it in my diffuser, it is so soothing because it smells like my favorite Early Gray tea!! Whenever I have people over, the first thing they ask is 'what smells so good?'
By:Michelle, Orillia, Ontario Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 09-Nov-2005
Rating: delicious! smells just like earl grey tea - citrusy and earthy and complex.
Rating: This Bergamot is delightful in its usefulness. I am all giggles about the fact that I can have both a floral and citrus like scent all in one oil. Furthermore, Bergamot is as useful a scent for men as it is for women, try it and you'll find a use for it. The only problem I have with this EO is that I have to hold back because it is so hard to go wrong.
Rating: This was one of the first additions to my EO collection when I was young, and I love it to this day. It's a natural antidepressant, as are NDA's amazing prices!
By:Shama, Houston, Texas Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 15-Jan-2008

Rating: This is my favorite oil.... I have worked with many. It is very versatile, and smells sooo wonderful!

Rating: I mixed Sweet Almond oil with Bergamot, Niaouli, and Lavender and put about 4 or 5 drops in my dogs ears because her ears were itching and they had a bad odor, this solution cleared it up in 2 days ! She is not constantly scratching her ears, and she smells so good ! I love New Directions oils !
By:Annmarie, Tempe, Arizona Top ReviewerDate: Loyal Customer Since: 08-Oct-2008
