15 best bergamot fragrances to try in 2025

Without knowing what bergamot is, it is possible to separate the greatest bergamot scents from the worst, but it may be quite helpful, just like when choosing an oud, vetiver, or other fragrance specialty. Many of your favorite perfumers use bergamot, which we adore for its strong citrusy overtones of Earl Grey tea. Some people even claim that bergamot scents are the best in the citrus family. Let's take a look at some of the perfumes that feature Bergamot which you can buy in the new year.

1) Laboratorio Olfattivo Bergamotto Parfum Cologne ($120)

Bergamot is a popular choice for perfume purists. It is a true celebration of the lemon-orange hybrid after which it is named. It was also picked in Southern Italy, the fruit's natural location. This fragrance, which has a parfum cologne concentration that will give your perfume exceptional longevity, is led by the zesty aroma of bergamot. If you're looking for bergamot, you'll find it here.

2) Acqua Di Parma Colonia C.L.U.B. Eau de Cologne ($198.90)

Almost glittering in its effervescence, this easy-to-wear eau de toilette is citrus-fresh, airy, and delicate. The perfume of Calabria, inspired the creation of this scent, which has a woody and fragrant dry down. Following an aromatic heart of shiso and rosemary, the perfume opens with a strong dose of bergamot, heightened with the spiciness of pink peppercorn. It has musk and cedarwood as base notes.

3) LE LABO Bergamote 22 eau de parfum ($189)

Bergamote 22 is Le Labo's heartfelt ode to the ingredient, handcrafted with only the best raw ingredients. Its development codename, "Fire Cologne," suggests that it has a lot of bitter grapefruit, along with floral petit grain, amber, musk, and vetiver. The number 22 refers to the amount of ingredients employed in the composition.

4) Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria Eau de Toilette (approx. $110 to $150)

Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria collection draws inspiration from the pleasures of nature, particularly gardens—both real and imagined. Bergamote Calabria is a true ode to the golden fruit, highlighting and promoting its best qualities. It is enhanced with brilliant notes of petitgrain, lemon, and overlapping touches of white musk, and paired with cardamom spice, pink peppercorn, and ginger, which give it an effervescent, nearly fizzy aspect.

5) Dior Homme Sport (approx. $180)

The addition of frankincense gives the well-known Eau de Toilette a newfound sensuality while retaining the citrus opening that has kept it consistently fresh. With its lingering notes of lemon, Calabrian bergamot, lemon, pink pepper, elemi resin, wood, and amber, this scent—which is usually worn as a casual daytime scent—can improve your aura.

6) Dark Rum Eau de Parfum ($100)

Malin+Goetz's Dark Rum has a bright opening despite the title. The earthy and fruity notes—such as amber, patchouli, and plum—combine harmoniously with the leather, rum, and vanilla finish to create the fragrance. The base fragrances of leather and rum are combined with bergamot, plum, anise, vanilla, patchouli, amber, and milk.

7) Le Labo Lavande 31 Eau de Parfum ($335)

We've been spoilt to believe that lavender is only used in spas. Using fresh, flowery notes enhanced by musk and tonka bean, Lavande 31 offers a new way to experience lavender. The base notes of bergamot and musk are expertly complemented by the blend of lavender, neroli, tonka, and amber.

8) Jo Malone LondonOud & Bergamot Cologne Intense (approx. $137 to $200)

This perfume is perfect for an evening wear because it is inherently masculine, has a powerful punch, and opens with sharp orange and bergamot notes that contrast with the headiness of rare oud wood or resin. If you can smell components, you might also pick up on the hint of lemon and cedar in it.

9) 724 Eau de Parfum Maison Francis Kurkdjian ($175.00 – $535.00)

724 is a fresh, aquatic fragrance that goes well with whatever setting you visit throughout the year. White roses, musk, and sandalwood give it a somewhat more nuanced aroma than the traditional, laundry-clean scent. Aldehyde, bergamot oil, white floral accord, and jasmine blends are excellent with sandalwood and white musk bases.

10) Gris Dior - Limited Edition ($450)

Gris Dior is a sophisticated fragrance that can carry you from day to night. It is mossy, earthy, and sweet. Oakmoss and sandalwood entice you in the opening, while patchouli and rose make a fleeting appearance to help the smell settle. With base notes of cedar and sandalwood, the blends of oakmoss, rose, patchouli, bergamot, and amber are a wonderful match.

11) Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim ($330)

Like a wave of well-being, Louis Vuitton's Afternoon Swim is the most enticing of the three. The unisex cologne/perfume, which aims to extend the sensation of summer, is a celebration of vibrant fruits and fragrant botanicals. The main ingredients are Sicilian orange, bergamot, and mandarin, with hints of ginger and ambergris.

12) Althair Eau de Parfum ($260.00 – $365.00)

The underlying tones of musk and cinnamon are wonderfully complemented by blends of orange blossom, bergamot, bourbon vanilla, elemi, guaiac wood, ambrox, and praline in this perfume. Althair has the scents of woods, musk, and vanilla that you would expect from a cozy cabin retreat. Vanilla opens the scent at first whiff and then you hit the notes of bergamot, oak, and musk. Althair has the texture of your favorite seasonal latte, except richer and more decadent.

13) JO MALONE LONDON Hemlock & Bergamot cologne ($138)

This Jo Malone cologne has the well-known tang of bergamot, but what really makes it unique is the hemlock's likeness with herbs. The perfume of the foilage is fresh and green, with floral notes of mimosa and heliotrope that create an atmosphere of a springtime forest walk. On days when you're looking for a clean, energizing scent, it's ideal for people who like their bergamot to be subtle.

14) Bergamot Noir Eau de Parfum ($175)

This scent, which comes in a convenient travel-sized packet, is the best pick for a quick hit of bergamot. Sandalwood Musk's depth, which may be subtle but leaves a lasting impression, contrasts with the Essentials Bergamot Incense in this perfume. Additionally, it blends in perfectly with the other scents offered by the club. For an attention-grabbing bergamot trail, apply it to your pulse points after working out or in between meetings.

15) Tom Ford Black Orchid ($160)

Choose Black Orchid by Tom Ford for a rich, fruity perfume with an amazing bergamot top. With its addictive, intense harmony of over twenty notes, this unisex chypre is the scent equivalent of power dressing. The blend's luxurious extracts of gardenia, vetiver, and black truffle are mixed with citrus fruits and sandalwoods to create a perfume that pretty much demands compliments. Since it's not for the weak of heart, we suggest wearing it in the evening or at night.
