what does bergamot smell like

Bergamot is a citrus fruit that grows on the Bergamia plant and is native to the Mediterranean. It is known as the “prince of citrus” and has a refreshing and rounded citrus smell; sweet, but complex and deep at the same time; similar to lime, but with floral, herbal, and resinous undertones. The scent of bergamot is fruity and citrusy, with floral hints and spice notes. It is commonly used as a top note to add vibrance to fragrances. Bergamot has a fresh and citrus scent profile, similar to the scent of orange with the roundness and floral notes of lemon. Some people describe the scent of bergamot as similar to triple sec or green unripe orange. Bergamot is what gives Earl Grey tea its citrus aroma.
