{"title":"Bergamot perfumes","description":"\u003cp\u003eBergamot is the pale green citrus note that opens a large share of niche perfumes. It is brighter and rounder than lemon, with a faint floral bitterness, and it evaporates quickly, so it lives in the top and hands the scent over to the heart. These perfumes list bergamot among their notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePressed from the peel in Calabria\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergamot is a small citrus fruit grown for its rind, because the pulp is far too sour to eat. The oil is pressed cold from the peel, and Calabria in southern Italy is the region most closely tied to it. The same oil flavours Earl Grey tea. Next to lemon it is softer, next to orange it is drier, and it has a floral, slightly bitter edge that neither of them has. Pyramids write it as bergamot, Calabrian bergamot or bergamot oil. All three mean the same material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA note that opens doors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergamot is one of the most volatile materials in a pyramid, so it belongs in the top and rarely appears anywhere else. Its glow is brief, and then the heart takes over. That short life is the point: it lifts what lies below, makes the first spray feel clean and leads into lavender, neroli, jasmine, spice or tea. Cologne, fougère and chypre structures often use it as the bridge to something darker. Musk, wood, amber or vetiver underneath give the brightness something to rest on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow pyramids use bergamot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/le-labo-bergamote-22-eau-de-parfum-50ml\"\u003eLe Labo Bergamote 22\u003c\/a\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/le-labo\"\u003eLe Labo\u003c\/a\u003e gives a flat list of key materials without tiers, naming bergamot, petit grain, grapefruit, amber, musk and vetiver.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fascent-leau-dor-dort-eau-de-parfum-30ml\"\u003eFascent L'Eau d'Or Dort\u003c\/a\u003e has bergamot, citron and lemon on top, orange blossom, petit grain and a clean linen accord in the heart, aldehydes and white musk below. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fascent\"\u003eFascent\u003c\/a\u003e calls it fresh, sunny, clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/amouage-interlude-man-eau-de-parfum-100ml\"\u003eAmouage Interlude Man\u003c\/a\u003e puts bergamot, oregano and pimento berry oil above amber, frankincense, cistus and opoponax, and leather, agarwood smoke, patchouli and sandalwood. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amouage\"\u003eAmouage\u003c\/a\u003e files it as woody, spicy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/maison-crivelli-cuir-infrarouge-extrait-de-parfum-100ml\"\u003eMaison Crivelli Cuir Infrarouge\u003c\/a\u003e starts its flat list with bergamot oil from Italy, then cinnamon from Laos, raspberry accord, leather accord and oud accord. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/maison-crivelli\"\u003eMaison Crivelli\u003c\/a\u003e calls it woody fruity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/lorenzo-pazzaglia-black-sea-extrait-de-parfum-50ml\"\u003eLorenzo Pazzaglia Black Sea\u003c\/a\u003e opens with bergamot, Sardinian myrtle, salt and ozone, and closes on seaweed, white musk, patchouli, oakmoss and ambergris.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/frederic-malle-leau-dhiver-eau-de-toilette-50ml\"\u003eFrederic Malle L'Eau d'Hiver\u003c\/a\u003e is the shortest pyramid here: bergamot alone in the top, iris, hawthorn and heliotrope in the base. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/frederic-malle\"\u003eFrederic Malle\u003c\/a\u003e files it as woody floral.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to read next to bergamot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe neighbours decide the style.
