Native to Southern Italy, bergamot is a lemon-like fruit that’s too sour for consumption, but perfectly electrifying for a fragrance. The essential oil it releases when distilled is a staple in the perfume industry for its zingy, bitter acidity and fresh orange rind feel.

Rag & Bone Bergamot
Bergamot is a crisp, dry scent, with a thread of peppery wood notes running through the composition like a river, dividing the fresh and aromatic coasts. It begins with an engaging, light petitgrain and bergamot tandem, and a touch of pepper for contrast. The bergamot note is very sheer, and its natural bitterness tucks behind the sharpness of the pepper, allowing the focus to be on the orange citrus facet. The petitgrain adds its bright, sunlit energy to bergamot’s natural sweetness. The freesia and orange blossom heart add depth to the citrusy feel, with a hint of dry, tangy cedar replacing the spritely petitgrain acidity. Airy musks and cashmere woods echo the top notes’ light, breezy energy, swapping zingy freshness for an addictive skin-tingling texture.

Malin + Goetz Bergamot
A scent where bergamot craves, demands and gets all the spotlight. The rest of the notes are just the supporting act.
There’s not one drop of bitterness in this delightful citrus fragrance. Bergamot is perfectly fresh and zesty but has a rich twist that makes it an ideal go-to cologne even in the midst of winter. A mix of intense musk, plus warm amber and woody tones suits up the citrus with some sophistication.
When you initially smell Bergamot’s, you’ll be amazed by its bold tonic kick: bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange, lime, and a dash of green pepper.
The heart of the composition mixes perfectly with the top notes, goes back and forth between fresh and spicy, thanks to notes of cardamom and black pepper intermingled with lily-of-the-valley and mint.
Continuing on the theme of freshness, the warm musk and amber base heat things up, providing comfort and enjoyment.
