The Scent Profile

Bergamot is a citrus note with a bright, sparkling freshness, but it feels softer and more refined than lemon or orange. It can smell zesty, slightly bitter, green, tea-like or lightly floral, which is why bergamot fragrances often feel clean, polished and instantly uplifting.

How Bergamot Is Used in Fragrance

Bergamot is most often used as a top note, giving a fragrance its first burst of freshness before softer floral, woody, amber or musky notes come through. It is a key note in many citrus and fresh fragrances, but it also plays an important role in chypre perfumes, where it helps create the bright opening that contrasts with a deeper mossy or woody base. Look for bergamot if you like scents that feel fresh without being too sharp, classic without feeling old-fashioned, and easy to wear every day.
