The unique character of bergamot essential oil
The Aromafume Bergamot essential oil is 100% natural and undiluted, a pure essence pressed from the citrus peel. The 10 ml bottle holds a bright, fresh scent that is softer than lemon and more refined than orange. In aromatherapy traditions it is special because it can both energise and calm – a dual effect rarely found in other citrus oils.
How to use it at home
A few drops in the diffuser refresh your living-room air. You can create an awakening mood in the kitchen in the morning, and a soft, settling atmosphere in the bedroom at night. Many use it in the afternoon at their working corner, as bergamot helps lift the feeling of mid-day tiredness without overstimulating the nervous system.
Tips for blending
Bergamot pairs well with lavender, geranium and sandalwood. For an average room, 4-5 drops of bergamot with 2-3 drops of lavender make an excellent calming blend. For the morning, try it with lemon or peppermint: the lively, fresh atmosphere will set you off more energetically.
Indian cultivation and quality
Although bergamot is originally a southern Italian fruit, it is now also grown in India at a high quality. Aromafume works with growers who have decades of experience in citrus cultivation. You receive a characterful, clean essence obtained through careful distillation.
Storage and caution
Bergamot oil is light-sensitive, so store it in a cool, dark place. If applied to the skin, avoid direct sunlight for a few hours, as its natural bergapten compound may sensitise the skin to light. For external use only, keep out of reach of children, and consult a specialist if you are unsure.
