GREEN BERGAMOT

Green bergamot in perfume emphasizes the leafy, herbal side of this citrus alongside its bright aromatic rind. A gently bitter edge can give definition to softer floral nuances. It can suit a taste for citrus that feels verdant as well as zesty, with the impression of crushed leaves surrounding the fruit rather than juice alone. The precise balance depends on the material and composition.

Olemee documents a green bergamot oil from Italy, cold pressed from fruits harvested while green, and describes leafy, herbal and soft floral facets. This is a specific example of an early-harvest material, not a rule that every note bearing the name uses the same harvest or oil. Green bergamot remains a bergamot interpretation rather than a separate botanical species. Its appearance in a fragrance description does not guarantee a particular natural ingredient or a fixed formula.
