Fragrance is described as citrus-like yet sweet. Bergamot oil is popular in aromatherapy, perfumery and the food industry (notably Earl Grey tea) and is commonly used in vaporizers, massages and blended into bath water.

The name derives from the city of Bergamo in Lombardy, Italy. Bergamot has been grown since the 16th century in Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Greece. Experts advise caution when using this oil on sensitive skin if it is exposed to sunlight after application, as this may cause burns; keep out of the sun if this oil has been used on the skin.
