Calabrian Bergamot Oil FCF
Description
A prized citrus oil with a luminous, uplifting scent profile that perfectly captures the Italian sunshine. This “Furocoumarin-Free” (FCF) version retains the juicy and slightly floral freshness of natural bergamot, while eliminating phototoxicity concerns, making it safe for use in perfumes applied to skin. Its bright, zesty character complements green, floral, and woody notes, and it’s a staple in elegant colognes and modern citrus-floral blends.
