Bergamot smells like a fresh, zesty citrus scent. Think of it as a mix between a lemon and an orange, but a bit more complex with subtle spicy and floral notes. It's vibrant and uplifting. You've probably smelled it if you've ever had Earl Grey tea, since bergamot oil is what gives it that distinct flavor. Bergamot smells like the opening of a fresh, high-end fragrance or the bright scent when you peel a citrus fruit, but with a cooler, more sophisticated vibe.
