Bergamot in Velixir perfumes

Bergamot is one of the most used top notes in perfumery. The oil is pressed from the peel, and what makes it useful is that it is citrus without being sharp: it lifts a composition and then lets the notes under it show. That is why it sits at the start of so many fresh, aromatic and woody perfumes.
