Calabrian Bergamot
Bergamot combines tart citrus peel with a soft floral, tea-like quality. Less sugary than orange and more rounded than lemon, it can feel sparkling, gently bitter and aromatic.

It lifts colognes, opens floral compositions and brings contrast to mossy, woody or ambery bases. Its floral side makes the transition from citrus to the heart feel especially fluid.
The note’s placement and prominence depend on the complete composition.
Understanding this note
Natural bergamot oil comes from the fruit’s peel. A bergamot note may also use fractions, aroma molecules or a reconstruction; the note name alone does not identify the formula.
