Bergamot -- sort of a clumsy sounding name. But if you say "Bergamotto" in Italian, I'm sure it sounds much more stylish. It's a bitter orange grown in the Calabria region of Italy. It's the taste and fragrance that makes Earl Grey tea distinctive. The essential oil is described as warm and -- take your pick -- a little citrusy, a little floral, a little green, and/or a little spicy. I read that it's used in one-third of all men's perfumes and one-half of all women's. It's like the fragrance can mix in anywhere and bring out subtleties. I find it clean and bright and...good!
