About this material
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

CAS numbers (comment): The scope of this Standard includes, but is not limited to the CAS number(s) indicated above; any other CAS number(s) used to identify this fragrance ingredient should be considered in scope as well.
Contributions from other sources: None to consider
Flavor use consideration: Due to the possible ingestion of small amounts of fragrance ingredients from their use in products in Categories 1 and 6, materials must not only comply with IFRA Standards but must also be recognized as safe as a flavoring ingredient as defined by the IOFI Code of Practice (www.iofi.org). For more details see chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards.
IFRA Standard type: RESTRICTION
Intrinsic property driving the risk management measure: PHOTOTOXICITY
Restricted ingredients due to phototoxicity considerations: notes: The Standard is set due to the phototoxic effects of Bergamot oil expressed. For more detailed information on the application of this Standard, please refer to the note on phototoxic ingredients in Chapter 1 of the Guidance for the use of IFRA Standards. If the level of furocoumarins is unknown, the restriction level specified in this IFRA Standard applies. Combination effects of phototoxic ingredients are only taken into consideration for the furocoumarin-containing fragrance ingredients (extracts) listed in the IFRA Standard of Citrus oils and other furocoumarins containing essential oils. If combinations of furocoumarin-containing phototoxic fragrance ingredients (extracts) are used, the use levels must be reduced accordingly. The sum of the concentrations of all furocoumarin-containing phototoxic fragrance ingredients (extracts), expressed in of their recommended upper concentration level in the consumer product shall not exceed 100. For qualities of the expressed oil in which the less volatile components have been concentrated by partial or total removal of the terpene fraction, this limit should be reduced in proportion to the degree of concentration.

Creative ideas to explore
Creative directions, not tested formulas.
A leafy cologne
With geranium and herbal notesSketch a citrus opening with a green or herbal counterpoint. Compare the leafy version with the citrus alone, noting whether the added direction suggests peel, garden freshness or an herbal character that changes the brief.
Citrus and grain
With a transparent wood directionExplore a spare citrus-and-wood structure, keeping the wood choice simple. Follow both the opening and later impression to see whether the composition keeps a clear outline as the bright citrus character changes through the evaluation.
Petal brightness
With rose and airy floral notesUse a familiar floral accord as the setting for a brighter citrus variation. Compare the flower with and without the citrus material, then decide whether to emphasise a fresh opening or a more continuous floral impression.

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.
