Bergamot-like odour components of bergamot essential oil ↗

In bergamot (Citrus bergamia) essential oil produced in Reggio Calabria, Italy, gas chromatography–olfactometry with aroma extraction dilution analysis found (Z)-limonene oxide, decanal, linalyl acetate and geraniol to be bergamot-like odour components, and these four together with eight other components gave an aroma model of bergamot odour, scored 7.1 for similarity on a nine-point sensory test.

One essential oil produced in Reggio Calabria; the abstract does not say whether it is peel oil or how it was obtained. The aroma model was judged with a nine-point similarity score and is not a full recombination of the oil. Not every bergamot oil, and not perfumes containing bergamot.
