Bergamot

Smells like

Fresh, fruity citrus with a little sweetness and a mild spicy edge. Think of the fragrant citrus in Earl Grey tea.

Bergamot oil comes from the fruit’s rind. A fragrance listing bergamot describes a scent note; it does not confirm which ingredient or extract the formula uses.

Catalogue examples: 4711 Original; Amouroud Miel Sauvage.
