Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Bergamot FCR essential oil combines the scent of citrus, flowers and green
herbs. A scent that is not particularly strong and therefore does not need to be
diluted before mixing. It is an almost universal fragrance that goes with almost
everything. In combination with Ho-wood oil, linalool or, when people did not
yet care about sustainability: rosewood oil, it gives a classic top note that
was popular for decades. In the 90s, the combination of bergamot and lemon was
widely used. This same combination, but with a little bit of orange blossom, is
the basis of the classic Eau de Cologne. Fougère perfumes also normally contain
bergamot oil. You usually use between 0,1% and 30% of this substance in the
fragrance composition. It is mainly a top note in perfumes. For a citrus oil,
the stability is not bad, it can be used in good soap. In cold process soap and
other very aggressive types of soap, the scent can be disappointing.

Properties (Hekserij)
Essential oil Bergamot FCR is a colourless to yellow-green liquid at room
temperature. The substance has a limited shelf life, we recommend replacing it
annually. The oil is made by pressing from the peel of the bergamot orange. The
oil is then post-processed by steam distillation, whereby the proportion of
highly allergenic furocoumarins such as bergapten is greatly reduced. Hence the
addition of FCR to the name, which means FuroCoumarin Reduced. This citrus fruit
of the Citrus bergamia Risso is mainly grown in southern Italy. When growing the
bergamot fruits for this oil, no artificial fertilizers were used and no or
minimal use of pesticides. Some plants have a scent similar to the bergamot
orange, such as bergamot herb (Monarda fistulosa L.), but this is a completely
different type of plant and the essential oil of this plant is also different in
composition.
