The elegant character of southern Italian bergamot
Bergamot is the distinctive citrus of southern Italy, which you may recognise from the traditional Earl Grey tea. The Fiore d'Oriente organic essential oil captures this slightly bittersweet yet elegant citrus note in a small vial. When you add a few drops to the diffuser, the room fills with a refreshing yet refined aroma, less sweet than the classic orange.
Why we recommend bergamot
The aroma of bergamot is traditionally associated with supporting concentration and balance. If you spend long hours at a desk or prepare for a longer study or reading period, this oil may help your attention remain steady while the air in the room is refreshed.
How to use it with ease
Fill the water tank of the diffuser and add three to ten drops depending on the size of the room. If you use an aroma lamp, drip the oil into the water poured into the dish and light a tealight beneath it. In both cases use it in a well ventilated space and avoid breathing it in directly by leaning over the source.
What it pairs with the best
It suits morning work, a short midday break or a shared family reading session equally well. Many people also use it for festive preparations, as the elegant bergamot note helps you settle into a relaxed dinner. Around Christmas time, for instance, it can be a pleasant companion to a spiced tea.
Storage and certification
After opening the oil keeps its freshness on the shelf for about two years if you store it in a cool, dark place. Fiore d'Oriente guarantees the natural and pure origin of its oils and has worked for years with ethically producing, organically certified partners. Store out of reach of children and pets.
