Bergamot - Steam Distilled
BERGAMOT :: ESSENTIAL OIL - STEAM DISTILLED
The refined, ethereal soul of the "Prince of Citrus" from the sun-drenched coast of Calabria. This steam-distilled oil offers a unique, crisp clarity that emphasizes the elegant floral and spicy facets of the fruit. It captures a sophisticated, tea-like freshness and a polished bitterness that feels both clean and expansive. It provides a smooth, luminous lift that integrates seamlessly into complex structures.
Character: crisp, floral, tea-like, peppery, elegant, luminous.
USE
Refines and harmonizes. It serves as a versatile bridge between volatile top notes and heart materials, smoothing out sharp edges with its characteristic linalyl acetate content. This steam-distilled version is particularly valued for its lack of phototoxicity, making it ideal for leave-on applications. It is the cornerstone of Earl Grey accords, classic Chypres, and modern Fougeres.
1% to 5% for a delicate, airy brightness.
5% to 15% to establish a sophisticated, bergamot-forward heart.
Higher concentrations are effective in unisex and masculine constructions where a dry, botanical citrus identity is desired.
PAIRINGS
Linalool, Petitgrain, Lemon, Lavender, Clary Sage, Jasmine, Rose, Neroli, Cardamom, Black Pepper, Coriander, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Labdanum, Coumarin, Ambergris, Iso E Super.
FORMAT
10ml bottle. 100% Pure Essential Oil.
HANDLING
Stable and refined. While more resilient than cold-pressed oils due to the distillation process, it should still be stored in a cool, dark environment to maintain its delicate floral esters. As a steam-distilled oil, it is furanocoumarin-free (FCF), allowing for greater creative freedom in topical formulations without the risk of photosensitivity.
