Miris

The first second on a blotter is a sharp, almost stinging freshness — a bright acid flash, like pressing a fingernail into citrus peel and catching the spray. Within thirty seconds the linalyl acetate softness appears: floral-adjacent, slightly soapy, cooler than the opening hit.

By fifteen minutes the acid bite has calmed. What dominates is a clean, aromatic brightness — tea-like, faintly petally, with a dry bitter edge underneath. This is the bergamot character that perfumers build on: structured enough to carry a top note, transparent enough not to compete with what follows.

After several hours on a blotter: a soft, warm, slightly resinous dryness. The citrus is a memory. What lingers is a quiet, clean warmth — the base of bergamot oil, stripped of its volatile top, surprisingly woody.

Detaljno

Rind bergamot is the essential oil obtained by cold pressing the peel of Citrus bergamia, a hybrid between lemon (C. limon) and bitter orange (C. aurantium). Nearly all commercial bergamot oil comes from a narrow coastal strip in Calabria, southern Italy, where the microclimate — mild winters, high humidity, alluvial, clay-limestone soils — produces an oil containing 22–36% linalyl acetate (ISO 3520:2022).

Explore all seven extraits in the Discovery Set.

The "rind" specification emphasizes the peel-only extraction: the oil is pressed from the fresh pericarp, the outer skin of the fruit. Cold pressing preserves the delicate terpenes and esters that heat-based extraction would destroy.

Bergamot oil is one of perfumery's most-used raw materials. It opens Eau de Cologne (the original Farina formula, 1709) and anchors the fougere family (Jicky, 1889). It is also the flavoring in Earl Grey tea.
