Following the seasons with scent is one of the most enjoyable ways to build your collection and your palate. Each time of year has it\u2019s own personality, and your choice of perfume can add a personal touch to the unique character of any season.<\/p>\n

One particular essential oil expresses the Spring season perhaps better than any other: bergamot from the Sicilian coast of Italy. It\u2019s both earthy and citrusy, with a slightly bitter feel that makes everything else pop in a perfume. It can be fruity without being screechy or overly sweet, and it blends very well with other notes in perfume. Bergamot smell<\/a> has long been a staple of men\u2019s perfumery, but it\u2019s also a welcome addition to any scent. Here are a few of our favorites:<\/p>\n

FOR SPRING GARDENERS<\/h2>\n
