Bergamot oil is a citrus oil that is extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange fruit, which is a cross between a lemon and an orange. It has a distinct, sweet and fruity aroma with a hint of floral and spicy notes. The oil is commonly used in perfumes, colognes, and other fragrances, as well as in aromatherapy and massage oils. In addition to its pleasant scent, bergamot oil is also believed to have a number of therapeutic properties, such as being an antidepressant, antiseptic, and a sedative. It can also be used to help with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
