Italian Citrus Fruits

Italian citrus fruits, encompassing a variety from oranges, lemons, to bergamot, possess distinct, refreshing scents integral to both culinary and fragrance industries. These fruits generally offer a vibrant, often zesty aroma. Lemons like the Sorrento are incredibly fragrant with a sharp, bright citrus note, making them a favorite for perfumers seeking a crisp, invigorating scent. Bergamot, mainly harvested in Calabria, stands out with its uniquely floral, spicy edge, and is a key ingredient in the famous Earl Grey tea and many colognes, offering a sophisticated, slightly sweet and tangy aroma. Blood oranges, with their deep red flesh, provide a richer, slightly berry-like scent compared to the more straightforward zestiness of regular oranges. This diverse palette of scents from Italian citrus is celebrated for its ability to evoke the breezy, sunlit essence of the Mediterranean.
