Bergamot

The luminous opening of perfumery

The olfactory idea

Bergamot brings a distinctive combination of citrus sparkle, a green edge and a softer floral impression. It can introduce a composition without making it smell simply like lemon.

Understanding the craft

The peel is the source of bergamot essential oil. Expression is an important method for obtaining citrus oils; processing and fractionation can change the character of the finished material. A bergamot note in a perfume does not prove that a specific natural oil is present.

Explore it for yourself

Compare a citrus opening with its drydown. Notice how quickly the sparkling impression changes, and whether woods, flowers or musks continue the feeling of freshness.
