    In Melito di Porto Salvo (25km from Reggio) there can be found two treasures — the first is the holy image of the Madonna of Porto Salvo, and the second the locals call "Green Gold"… Bergamot Melito.

    The finest bergamot in the world grows in the Calabrian region of Italy and Melito di Porto Salvo is home to the most revered crops. For that reason we present it here in its purest form. This is not bergaptene or furocoumarin free. This is 100% pure and natural green bergamot oil and you will never find better.

    Hand selected by Fraterworks, this is the very same quality bergamot used by master perfumers such as Jean Carles, Ernest Beaux, Edmond Roudnitska, the heads of the House of Guerlain and many others.

    Fortunately, while IFRA restricts the amount you can use of this oil, it is still perfectly permissable up to 0.4% of your finished fragrance. Max it out and then top up with our superior Bergamot Oil FCF Calabria which is, in itself, a masterpiece of modern citrus meets molecular science.

    Origin: Melito, Calabria (Italy)
    Part: Peel
    Method: Cold pressed at source

    General Information

    Like most suppliers and makers of quality raw materials for fragrances, we do not filter many of our products. This ensures that no odiferous matter is lost prior to use but can result in the appearance of small particles or slight clouding.

    All alcoholic fragrances should be macerated for up to a month and then chilled in a moderate freezer overnight before being filtered fine. This will remove all cloudiness or detritus and is the industry norm.

    IFRA Standards

    Permitted amounts in finished product:

    IFRA 51: 0.42%
    IFRA 49: 0.42%

    These are derived from calculated concentrations which do not replace chromatographic quantification on individual lots. Disclaimer...

    For Trade Use Only

    Our products are intended as building blocks in the perfume creation process; they are not to be applied to the skin undiluted.

    These raw materials are for use by the perfumery trade only.

    First Time Ordering - Great Experience - Great Products

    I've had a chance to briefly evaluate each material received. Frater's clary sage abs. is divine. Mandarin green was a nice find. I won't review all I bought but I can't wait to dilute the violet leaf absolute and evaluate it. Real violet leaf is hard to come by and it's quite valuable for making high quality 'green' perfume.
    Oh! And I should mention that I ordered from a large American based perfume supplies shop at the same time and Frater's order was delivered from New Zealand quicker than the domestic one. I will continue to buy from him!

    Obviously there is an issue with compliance with this oil but for personal projects or simply as a reference this is just sublime.

    Bergamot Melito from Capua 1880 : One of the best and very usefull citrus oil

    A full body bergamot oil, with nuances of fruit and sweet. It can mask and round of harshness of synthetic meterials in the composition and make the compound smell natural with fantastic and unique top notes.
