Bergamot is undoubtedly the most widely used citrus in perfume and is fruity, sweet and slightly peppery. It brings freshness and vitality to countless perfumes. The fruit itself is not edible, but its aroma can be found in Earl Grey tea.
Other popular citrus notes include lemon, orange, bigarade (bitter orange, whose leaves are also used (called petitgrain) as well as the blossoms (orange blossom or neroli, depending on the distillation process).
Green herbs such as mint, basil and tarragon also add a cheerful freshness to perfumes, and some perfumes even smell like freshly cut grass.
Aquatic perfumes, in turn, are reminiscent of the sea or a fresh rain shower. They emerged when the synthetic ingredient Calone was discovered, which smells like ozone or a sea breeze, as well as watermelon. Algae and seaweed too can often be found in aquatic perfumes.
