BERGAMOT (CALABRIA)
Calabrian bergamot identifies a regional designation for a familiar citrus perfume note. Its useful scent reference is bright peel, softened by floral and herbal nuances. The freshness can feel rounded as well as zesty, making it more varied than a simple sharply sour impression.
Calabria, in southern Italy, is a documented source of bergamot peel oil. Cold pressing is a common extraction method, with further processing used for particular grades. The region alone does not establish a unique scent, a quality ranking or a specific oil treatment. In a perfume, consider how the citrus is presented: a fresh cologne-like composition and a warmer woody setting can give the same note quite different emphasis.
