Bergamot without bergapten (FCF) – Full description & information
Origin & tradition. Bergamot, a cult citrus essence used in colognes and citrus fragrances, comes mainly from Calabria (Italy). The FCF (bergapten-free) version retains the citrus-floral freshness while reducing the phototoxicity associated with furocoumarins, making it more versatile in certain formulas.
Plant & raw material. Citrus bergamia (Rutaceae). The zest is rich in aromatic vesicles; an essence is first obtained by cold expression , then rectification/fractionation is carried out to eliminate a large part of the furocoumarins (including bergapten).
Olfactory profile & creative use. Sweet, floral-tea, light lemony top note with a green nuance typical of citrus fruits. Magnificent binder: blends with flowers (neroli, lavender, geranium), citrus fruits (lemon, orange), light woods (cedar) and fine herbs (petitgrain, rosemary verbenone). The FCF version avoids darkening “sun care”/“daytime” bases when phototoxic limits are restrictive.
