BERGAMOT

Bergamot in perfumery is cherished for its bright, invigorating, and distinctly citrusy aroma, which infuses fragrances with a refreshing burst of energy and elegance. Derived from the peel of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia), this essential oil is prized for its unique ability to balance sour, sweet, and slightly floral notes, creating a scent profile that is simultaneously uplifting and soothing. Often employed as a top note, bergamot imparts a luminous, effervescent quality to perfumes, setting a vibrant tone from the first spritz. Its versatility allows it to blend harmoniously with a wide range of other fragrance components, including florals, spices, woods, and other citrus elements. This adaptability makes it an essential component in both light, refreshing daytime scents and deeper, more complex compositions. The aroma of bergamot is renowned for its ability to evoke feelings of joy, clarity, and calm, making it a favorite in both men’s and women’s perfumery.
