Does bergamot eo fade?

[Obsidian]

Every once in awhile the local store has those tiny bottles of eo on sale and I pick up something new to see if I like it.

This time it was bergamot and now I'm wondering if it fades in CP like most other citrus?
I really like it straight up, nice and sharp without being bitter.

It always did the few times I used it.

Thats what I was afraid of. Guess its time to get a diffuser.

I wonder what NS' Afternoon Tea would smell like with a little bergamot EO. If I could trust it not to fade, I'd try that in a heartbeat.

I love bergamot but have not been able to get it to stick in cp soap. I bought BB’s Bergamot and Black Tea FO which, though not exactly the same, is nice.

If you want to try it in soap, try HP (or I guess M&P would work as well).. I haven't used bergamot yet, but in my experience the 'fresh' notes of citrus EOs survive better in HP. Blood orange (not folded) stuck for about 9months to a year in HP and lemongrass smells completely different (a lot fresher) in HP than in CP.

I've used Bergamot in HP, it fades.

Dang it.. thanks for the heads up!

May Chang (litsea) sticks pretty well in CP. Granted, it's not bergamot, but it is a fresh and light citrus.
