What Does Bergamot Smell Like?

Too bad we don’t have smellavision; it’d be easier to know what bergamot smells like than to try to describe it digitally.

Alas, I will do my best to describe what bergamot smells like:

Bergamot has a distinct citrus aroma that is bright, fresh, and slightly floral. It’s often described as a blend of orange and lemon with a delicate, spicy undertone. This unique combination gives bergamot a sophisticated and uplifting scent that is both refreshing and subtly complex.

How do you pronounce bergamot?

Is bergamot pronounced berg-a-mot (like a lot)? Or do you French it up and pronounce bergamot like your tongue is swollen – berhg-ah-moe? Try this. The most common pronunciation of “bergamot” is BER-guh-mot. BER as in “bird” (or “burr”); guh as in the “a” in “above”; mot as in “sock” or “cot”.

I quite enjoy bergamot fragrance. I’m not a big citrus fan and while this scent has notes of citrus, it’s a blend. I’d describe it as a little clean, a little floral, a little cologne. Earl Grey tea has the scent of bergamot.
