Bergamot
Bergamot has been cherished in perfumery since the early days, even gracing the very first eau de cologne in 1695. Just a whiff of the iconic 4711 Kölnisch Wasser reveals its unmistakable scent, as familiar to perfume lovers as it is to those who enjoy the aromaticEarl Grey tea. This remarkable citrus fruit, grown predominantly in Italy, offers a bright, zesty fragrance with complex floral and herbal notes underpinned by a hint of bitterness. Extracted from the peel of Citrus bergamia, bergamot infuses fragrances with an immediate sense of warmth and optimism.
Fresh and uplifting
In the perfume world, bergamot is a fundamental ingredient, a staple in eau de colognes,
and a nearly constant presence in fougère and chypre scents. Its fresh, uplifting profile adds an irreplaceable depth, pairing beautifully with delicate notes in fragrances like Orris Soyeux.
