A Sun-drenched Citrus Burst


A leisurely afternoon spent in a Mediterranean garden, the air humid after a sudden downpour. Steam rises, intensifying the fresh sweetness of the bergamot groves nearby.

For centuries, the bergamot tree has been coveted for its precious oil and the sparkling fragrance it yields. We’ve captured it here in our newest collection, Bergamot Vert. This enticingly bright body and home care collection blends essential oils from the fruit’s cold-pressed zest with luscious notes of sun-drenched citrus and crisp balsamic cypress. Floral wisps of jasmine and fresh woody petitgrain lend warmth, while comforting notes of plump red currant and white musk leave a fragrant finish.

So what is this exotic fruit tree that has brought so much joy to perfumers and perfume wearers? Bergamot (“BER-gah-maht”) is a small evergreen tree that thrives in the southern part of Calabria, Italy. It is grown chiefly for its inedible citrus fruits, the rinds of which yield an aromatic oil. Extremely popular in perfumery, the oil also contributes its sweet freshness to Earl Grey tea.

There are at least two stories about the origins of the tree’s name. One is that the oil was first sold near the town of Bergamo, Italy. The second is that it comes from the Italian bergamotto, a modification of a Turkish phrase meaning “Bey’s pear.” In fact, it’s sometimes referred to as Turk’s pear, which hints at an earlier possible origin.
