Bergamot Fragrances
Many different oils feature in a perfume’s fragrance pyramid, but the most common in the world of perfumery is Bergamot - a scent you should definitely know. Bergamot grows throughout the Mediterranean basin. It is a fruit about the size of an orange, but its color is more like that of a lemon. A deliberate cross between orange and lemon created our Bergamot. Bergamot plays a major part in earning its place as one of the most distinctive essential oils in the citrus world. Its growing region gives Bergamot extra points for uniqueness. A particularly interesting fact is that Bergamot is actually a sour fruit, as you would expect of a fruit related to citrus, yet the essential oil extracted from it is sweet. This gives it the ability to enhance and improve the surroundings it reaches at this stage of the perfume pyramid.
