What does Bergamot Givco 104 smell like?
Givaudan's own specialties book reduces it to citrus, fruity, bergamot oil, and describes the material as a reconstitution that is bergapten-free and has no phototoxic potential, a bergamot made to replace the essential oil with superior stability and performance in functional products. PerfumersWorld resolve the profile further as an aliphatic-citrus and herbaceous opening moving into a linalool-rich citrus heart with a coniferous edge, at a middling relative odour impact and a typical use of a couple of percent in a compound. In a formula it is the bergamot you reach for when the natural oil would discolour or fade: it gives the classic fougere and chypre top, performs well in alcoholic perfume and in bath and shower gel, and its known weakness is discolouration in antiperspirant and chlorine-containing bases.
