citrus fruit resembling a cross between an orange and a grapefruit but in a pear-shape. The fruit ripens from green to yellow.

Aromatic Scent: The aroma is basically citrus, yet fruity and sweet with a warm spicy floral quality, and is reminiscent
of Neroli and Lavender Oils.

History: The name Bergamot is derived from the city Bergamo in Lombardy where the oil was first sold. This tree is native
to South East Asia but was introduced to Europe, and particularly Italy, but is also found in the Ivory Coast,
Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria.

Cautions: Bergamot Essential Oil can cause severe burns when used on sensitive skin that has been exposed to sunlight due to
the high bergaptene content.
