Bergamot (Calabria)
Bergamot from Calabria is a fresh, citrusy fragrance note with a bright, zesty, and slightly floral scent profile that carries subtle green and bitter undertones. Its aroma is uplifting, invigorating, and crisp, adding a natural and elegant quality to perfumes. Bergamot imparts a sparkling and refreshing character, often used as a top note to create an energizing and sophisticated opening. It pairs beautifully with florals, woods, and spices, contributing to fragrances that are balanced, modern, and timeless.
History & Production: Bergamot essential oil is extracted from the peel of the bergamot orange (Citrus bergamia), which is primarily cultivated in the Calabria region of southern Italy, known for producing some of the highest quality bergamot in the world. The oil is obtained through cold pressing of the fruit’s peel, preserving its vibrant, citrusy essence. Bergamot has been cherished for centuries in both perfumery and aromatherapy for its refreshing and mood-enhancing properties. In modern perfumery, Calabrian bergamot is valued for its ability to add a bright, fresh touch that enhances the complexity and elegance of both classic and contemporary fragrances.
