Scent & character
A bright citrus material with a fruity sweetness and a faint balsamic edge. The supplier grade cited here is bergapten-free bergamot oil from Calabria; other bergamot grades are different materials for documentation purposes.
STUDY PROMPT
Compare it with linalyl acetate on separate blotters. Record the citrus impression first, then return to the strips to see which qualities remain. Keep the exact grade in your formula.
Materials to compare
Use these as starting points for separate blotter comparisons and small, documented studies. A pairing is a question to explore, not a finished formula.
Record the exact material
Record the exact supplier product, grade, batch, and stock strength. Materials with similar names can have different composition and performance. Read the supplier documentation for your actual material before handling or using it.
Note placement describes a useful study role, not a precise evaporation clock. Dilution, the surrounding formula, and your own perception affect what you notice.
