Sparkling, juicy citrus peel with a sunny sweetness and a slightly bitter, green rind edge. Opens sharp and effervescent, softening into a clean floral-tea nuance from its linalool and linalyl acetate content. Signature 'Earl Grey' brightness that lifts and freshens a composition.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Appearance

Odor

Bergamot Oil has an extremely rich, sweet-fruity initial odor, followed by a characteristic oily-herbaceous and somewhat balsamic body and dryout.

Flavor

Bergamot Oil is used in flavors for its sweet-fruity and yet refreshing notes, popular in hard candy and as a modifier along with other citrus oils.

Uses in perfumery

Bergamot Oil is used extensively in perfumery for its sweet freshness, particularly in citrus colognes, chypres, fougères, and modern fantasy bases.

Uses in flavor

Bergamot Oil is used in the flavoring of tobacco, particularly in the Continental types of pipe tobacco.

Production

Bergamot Oil is produced by cold expression from the peel of the nearly ripe fruit.
