THE ESSENCE OF BERGAMOT
What is Bergamot?
Extracted from the peel of the Bergamot orange, Bergamot essential oil offers a distinctive scent that is both fresh and complex. It combines bright, citrusy top notes with a subtle floral and slightly spicy undertone, making it versatile and widely appealing. It is primarily grown in the coastal regions of Italy.
Its balanced profile makes Bergamot an excellent top note that can blend seamlessly with a wide range of other fragrance components, from florals to spices and woods. This versatility allows our perfumers to use Bergamot in various types of fragrances, including fresh, floral, woody, and amber scents, enhancing the overall fragrance experience. Its ability to evoke a sense of cleanliness and vitality makes it a popular choice for both men’s and women’s fragrances.
