Bergamot

Classic colognes open with bergamot, a sour Italian citrus whose cold-pressed rind oil is tart and sunny with a floral lift.

Everyday reference
It is the smell of the steam rising from a cup of Earl Grey, the tea it flavors.
Versus Lemon
Lemon is the sharper, more acidic of the two, while bergamot is rounder and leans toward flowers and tea.
What to smell for
Catch it early, a tart, floral sparkle that softens as the heart notes arrive.
