Perfumes with Calabrian bergamot

Calabrian bergamot smells fresh, bright and slightly floral with a bitter citrus edge: the bergamot of Italy's Calabria region, which supplies most of the world's production.

The peel of Citrus bergamia is cold-pressed into bergamot oil; perfumers usually use a version stripped of the components that cause light sensitivity on skin. The scent combines lemon-like sharpness with soft lavender and tea nuances. Calabrian bergamot is almost always a top note. It pairs with neroli, lavender, tea, orris, vetiver, patchouli and musks.

Calabrian bergamot appears in 991 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a top note.
