What Is Bergamot Oil Used For?

Bergamot oil is a unique citrus oil. It has high concentrations of the uplifting monoterpene limonene like other citrus, but also contains the calming monoterpene ester linalyl acetate (which gives relaxing qualities to Lavender, Clary Sage, and Petitgrain). Because of this, Bergamot oil is an ideal oil to use to help with anxious and sad feelings, or for times when tension is high. Diffuse Bergamot oil to reduce feelings of negativity, or to encourage self-confidence. When stress levels are high, diffuse Bergamot oil with Grapefruit and Douglas Fir.

Bergamot oil is highly valued in the fragrance industry; it is an ingredient in approximately half of women’s fine fragrances and one-third of men’s colognes. Bergamot oil is a key ingredient in the classic Eau de Cologne, created in 1709. Eau de Cologne was a favorite scent of Voltaire, who declared it “a fragrance that inspires the spirit!”
