Bergamot scent is a citrus scent with floral, herbal, and resinous undertones. It is often described as halfway between lemon and orange, with a sourness similar to lime combined with the sweetness of orange, but more mellow and rounded. Bergamot is commonly used as a top note in perfumes to add vibrancy to the fragrance. It is also a common flavoring and deodorizing agent in cosmetics, food, and beverages. The scent of bergamot comes from the essential oil extracted from the rinds of the bergamot orange fruit. Bergamot essential oil is cold-pressed and has been used in aromatherapy due to its health benefits, such as reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
