    Bergamot is the citrus with a floral twist. Cold pressed from the peel of Citrus bergamia, the small green fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its signature scent, it sits somewhere between sunny orange and soft florals, and it is one of the most loved oils for lifting the mood while keeping things calm.

    It is a beautiful oil for days when confidence feels a little thin, and a staple in natural perfumes. Diluted on the skin, it also helps to keep the complexion looking clear and fresh.

    Aroma: Citrusy, spicy, with a bright floral top note.

    What the research says: In a study of 41 healthy women, Watanabe et al. (2015) found that 15 minutes of inhaling bergamot vapour lowered salivary cortisol, a marker of stress, compared with resting alone, and participants reported more positive feelings. Read the study.
