What does Neobergamate Forte smell like?
Givaudan describes a powerful and fresh citrus bergamot top note combined with a floral, herbaceous heart, and singles it out as excelling at citrus lime effects. It is 2-methyl-6-methylene-7-octen-2-yl acetate, and unlike the natural bergamot it stands in for it survives alkaline media, holding up from pH 2 to 10.5 and performing best in soap, shampoo, all-purpose cleaner and fabric detergent. In a formula it is the citrus you reach for when the top has to still be there hours later: several days on the blotter, used up to 10 percent, giving bergamot and lime brightness that does not collapse the way a cold-pressed oil does.
