Bergamot

Bergamot is a key ingredient in perfumery, particularly appreciated for its bright, sparkling freshness. Derived from the fruit of the bergamot tree, a citrus fruit grown mainly in Calabria, Italy, its essential oil is extracted from the fruit's rind.

Olfactive universe

Citrusy. Bergamot offers lively, tangy notes, halfway between orange and lemon, with a slight floral sweetness and a hint of bitterness. Its lightness and brightness make it a key ingredient in fresh, citrusy fragrances, often used at the top of many compositions to bring a feeling of vitality and energy. A staple in the emblematic Eau de Cologne, bergamot is prized for its ability to balance and sublimate other notes, whether floral, woody or spicy.
