Bergamot EO Sicilian
Bergamot EO Sicilian, derived from the small green-yellow fruit known for its essential oil contained in the oil-bearing pockets of the peel of the pericarp, is a key ingredient in Eau de Cologne, along with Lavender and Neroli.
Grown primarily in Calabria and Sicily, Italy, the bergamot tree reaches a height of four meters and blooms with fragrant white flowers.
The fruits ripen between December and March, and the resulting cold-pressed essential oil exudes a citrusy, agrestic fragrance with a floral undertone reminiscent of lavender.
Bergamot essential oil, known for its rich, sweet, and fruity aroma, contains terpenes and small amounts of citral and aliphatic aldehydes that give it a fresh top note.
Unlike other citrus oils, Bergamot oil has a fixative effect at high concentrations.
It’s main chemical constituent, Linalyl Acetate, contributes to its well-balanced odour with Coumarin derivatives. A popular choice among aromatherapists, Bergamot is believed to have a soothing effect on the mind and help alleviate worried thoughts.
With its distinct scent and therapeutic benefits, bergamot essential oil is a popular choice for those seeking a natural and aromatic solution.
Bergamot blends well with Coriander EO Cuba

Sicilian Bergamot Oil is truly a standout among essential oils, offering a fresh, vibrant citrus aroma that feels both uplifting and calming. Coming from the sun-drenched orchards of Sicily, the quality is immediately apparent—clean, crisp, and far more nuanced than synthetic alternatives or lower-grade citrus oils.
The scent is a perfect balance between sweet orange and tart lemon, with subtle floral and spicy undertones that add complexity. It’s bright without being overpowering, making it an ideal top note.
It blends beautifully with lavender, cedarwood and frankincense.
If you’re looking for a premium, natural essential oil with a clean and uplifting profile, then this Bergamot oil is a must-have.
