Bergamot smells like other citrus fruits in that it has a sunny, sweet aroma with notes of tartness and acidity.
 
Bergamot essential oil is a cold-pressed essential oil produced by cells inside the rind of a bergamot orange fruit. It is a common flavoring and top note in perfumes. The scent of bergamot essential oil is similar to a sweet light orange peel oil with a floral note.
