Fresh Bergamot Citrus:
Essential Oil of Bergamot is extracted from the peel of the bergamot
orange, a small pear shaped sour orange which is cultivated today mostly in
southern Italy. Latest genetic research indicates that the Bergamot orange is
most likely a cross between the sweet or pear lemon (Citrus limetta) and the
Seville or sour orange (Citrus aurantium). This mix creates a tart and fruity
note that permeates any item it's put into. This fragrance is incredibly strong
and luscious in all manner of toiletries, including cold process soap.
