Quick answer: Bergamot is an aromatic citrus note that can smell bright, green, floral, tea-like, slightly bitter, spicy, or softly sweet. It adds lift and pairs naturally with tea, herbs, florals, woods, amber, musk, and aquatic accords.
What Does Bergamot Smell Like?
Bergamot combines citrus sparkle with green, floral, peel-like, and tea-adjacent qualities. Depending on the composition, it may feel transparent, aromatic, botanical, softly perfumed, or warm above a woody or ambered base.
