Bergamot


A citrus fruit whose essential oil, expressed from the zest, offers a sparkling, fresh, slightly floral note, classic among top notes. Bergamot opens a great many fragrances and forms the hesperidic apex of the chypre accord. Luminous and elegant, it is much prized in hotel signature scents for the immediate freshness it imparts to the welcome.
