Botanical Name: Citrus bergamia (Risso) (Rutaceae)
The bergamot orange (Citrus aurantium subsp. bergamia) is a citrus fruit, small and roughly pear shaped. It is sour and its aromatic peel is used to produce the essential oil that is used in Earl Grey tea, in perfumery, and in aromatherapy to treat depression. It was a component of the original Eau de Cologne developed in Germany in the 17th century.

The fruit, produced in Italy, is a cross between the pear lemon and the Seville orange or grapefruit. The Bergamot orange is unrelated to the herb of the same name.

This pure essential oil is a bright citrus with a slight green scent coming in at the end. Often used in both uplifting and sensual blends. Use Bergamot in your soaps, lotions, bath salts, salt and sugar scrubs, and massage oils.

Essential Oils are the actual oils from the plant itself. There is no filler added, just the pure, natural oil from the plant itself. Because an essential oil is a product of nature and not a computer generated product, the oil will vary slightly from lot to lot. Even within the same field, plants will vary and so do their essential oils. Age of the essential oil also effects its scent, the older lot being more mellow.

We do not add anything to the essential oils that we sell. They are the pure essential oil from the plants. Our importer buys world wide and focuses on the more oil potent plants to give us the strongest essential oils at reasonable prices.

If you want a natural scent from nature herself, essential oils are the way to go to scent your homemade products.
