Description
Bergamot essential oil is a fresh, citrusy and slightly floral oil known for its bright, uplifting aroma. Cold-pressed from the peel of organically grown Citrus bergamia, this oil is beloved in aromatherapy for creating a cheerful, relaxed atmosphere and adding brightness to natural blends. Its complex, sweet-tart scent makes it a favorite in mood-setting blends and natural perfumery.
Why People Love It
- Uplifting aroma: a bright, sunny scent that sets a cheerful, relaxed mood

- Evening wind-down: a soft citrus-floral aroma to diffuse as the day slows down
- Freshens indoor spaces: a natural, clean scent for any room

Aroma Chemistry
Bergamot essential oil contains a range of aromatic compounds:
- Limonene: gives Bergamot its bright, fresh citrus sparkle
- Linalyl Acetate: adds a sweet, fruity, slightly floral softness
- Linalool: contributes a gentle floral note that rounds out the aroma
- Bergapten: a furanocoumarin responsible for phototoxicity when applied to skin and exposed to sunlight
Together these constituents give Bergamot its unique sweet-tart, citrus-floral character, while requiring mindful, safe topical use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this oil in a Nebulizing DiffuserĀ®?
Yes. It is 100% pure essential oil with no carrier oil, water or fragrance added, which is exactly what a Nebulizing DiffuserĀ® needs. About 20 to 25 drops in the glass reservoir is enough in most cases, and 15 to 30 drops gives roughly 1 to 2 hours of diffusion on the low setting.
How long will a bottle last?
A 10ml bottle holds roughly 200 drops, which is about 8 to 10 fills of a Nebulizing DiffuserĀ® reservoir. If you diffuse every day, the 30ml and 50ml sizes mean fewer reorders.
How should I store it?
Keep the cap tightly closed and store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place away from heat and direct sunlight. This helps the oil keep its aroma for longer.
Can I use it on my skin?
Essential oils are highly concentrated. Always dilute in a carrier oil before applying to skin, do a small patch test first, and keep oils away from eyes and out of reach of children and pets. Some citrus oils, such as bergamot and cold-pressed lemon, can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
What are the shipping and return terms?
US shipping is $22.99 and free on essential oil orders over $65. Essential oils cannot be returned.

Great oil

I wanted to love this oil, but was so disappointed that it smelled nothing like Bergamot. It had too much of perfume smell for me. Will send it back.

This is a gentle, relaxing oil. Next to lavender, this is a favorite. Either oil mixed with grapefruit will give you a good nights sleep.
