bergamot day out

3 oils · Citrus · Floral · code BL-1812


Ten drops of bergamot take charge, fresh with a hint of tea, neroli adds white petals, and lemon brightens everything like a Saturday morning outing. Light and cheerful, it's easy for anyone to love. Great as a daytime perfume: dilute it in a roller bottle. Bergamot and lemon are phototoxic, so apply to covered skin or wear it in the evening.

How it unfolds

On opening. Bergamot (light citrus with a floral edge, Earl Grey style); lemon (fresh, bright and clean) rise first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Neroli (white-floral, honeyed and clear) forms the body of the scent and stays longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.


Method

Safety

Photosensitizing

Bergamot and Lemon can make skin sensitive to sunlight when applied topically — avoid sun and tanning beds for 12 hours after applying.

Do not use for children under 6, during pregnancy, or if you have a health condition without asking a professional first. Never ingest essential oils; keep them out of reach of children and pets.


FAQ

How do I use bergamot day out in a diffuser?
Add Bergamot 4 · Neroli 2 · Lemon 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.
What can I use instead of bergamot?
Swap bergamot for sweet orange or lemongrass — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: sweet orange is ripe, sweet, cheerful and round.
When is the best time to use bergamot day out?
Diffuse it in a room, or mix a roller to dab on your wrists (diluted in a carrier oil).
