Calabrian bergamot is bergamot from its ancestral home, the narrow coastal strip of Calabria in southern Italy where the finest bergamot has grown for centuries. The terroir, sea air, mineral soil and intense sun, produces an oil of exceptional brightness, complexity and floral depth that perfumers consider the gold standard. In fine fragrances, specifying Calabrian origin signals top quality, a bergamot that sparkles longer and smells more multidimensional than generic sources. In Indian summers, a Calabrian bergamot opening is the ultimate luxury refreshment, it simply smells more alive and radiant. You will find it headlining prestige fresh fragrances where every ingredient is the best available. The difference is subtle but real to a trained nose.
