Bergamot essential oil comes from the most delicate of all citrus fruits, a bitter fruit that Italians hardly ever eat and that is grown mainly for its peel. It is a citrus for perfumery rather than for the kitchen: its bright, lemony and slightly spicy aroma is more floral than that of lemon or orange.
What sets it apart is this aroma, both uplifting and calming, which suits the morning as well as the evening. It is found in a wide range of perfumes, creams and soaps, and lends itself to the same gestures at home: one or two drops in a homemade skin cleanser, a few drops in the shower, or diluted in fractionated coconut oil for a soothing massage. It also helps cleanse the skin and gives the complexion a fresher look.
A citrus you wear, rather than taste.
- Both uplifting and calming, it helps you release the pressure after a busy day.

Bergamot peel is one of the main ingredients of Earl Grey tea. To extract the oil, the peel is grated under water with a tool similar to a cheese grater, and the fruit comes out looking like a small fluffy ball.
