Choosing a note
How to choose a bergamot fragrance
Choose a bergamot fragrance by considering both citrus brightness and what follows it. A peel-like opening can lead to flowers, aromatic notes, woods or warmth, so the first impression should not decide the entire purchase.
A HUME Fragrance buying guide
Define your citrus preference
Do you enjoy brightness, a bitter-peel edge or a softer citrus association? Write the impression you want rather than expecting the fruit name to predict one exact smell.
Read the heart and base
Choose different supporting structures for a useful comparison. Shared bergamot notes do not establish that the later fragrances will feel similar.
Return after the opening
Decide whether you enjoy the later character as much as the citrus introduction. Freshness does not guarantee a particular duration or strength.
Try this before you buy
For each candidate, record a citrus opening description and a separate later-wear description before choosing.
