Description

Bergamal (IFF) is a modern citrus aroma chemical known for its refreshing, aldehydic, lemon, bergamot and verbena-like character. IFF describes it as having a refreshing citrus profile with lemon, citronella and verbena facets, supported by definite citrus and dry orange nuances.

Its aroma combines bright citrus, fresh lemon, bergamot, verbena, green and dry orange facets, giving it a crisp and uplifting character. It is particularly useful for enhancing citrus accords and adding a clean, sparkling quality to fragrance openings.

Bergamal works especially well in citrus, fresh, green, aromatic and modern woody fragrances. It can also provide freshness to floral compositions and help brighten heavier woody or amber structures.

Perfumers' Tip

Bergamal is particularly useful for creating a bright, refreshing and sparkling citrus opening. Combine it with Bergamot, Lemon and Petitgrain to reinforce a natural citrus impression, or pair it with Lavender and Rosemary for a fresh aromatic direction.

For a modern citrus-woody composition, try Bergamal + Bergamot Oil + Cedarwood + Vetiver + Ambroxan. Geranium can add a floral dimension, while Oakmoss and Patchouli can provide a deeper green-chypre character.

Because Bergamal has a clear and recognizable citrus-aldehydic character, start at low to moderate levels and evaluate carefully before increasing the dosage.
