Top Note

Bergamot

Bright, citrusy, and sparkling with a refined floral edge and a crisp, refreshing quality.

Bergamot is the first breath of a fragrance, the bright, sparkling opening that catches attention without demanding it. It is the welcome, the invitation, the moment before the story begins.

Provenance

The Origin

Bergamot is pressed from the rind of the bergamot orange, cultivated almost exclusively in Calabria, southern Italy. The fruit is too bitter to eat, but its oil is one of perfumery's most treasured materials.
