11 Best Unisex Bergamot Perfumes: Incredibly Citrus

Published: Dec 8, 2022 · Last Updated: Feb 8, 2024 · By Selena Marc

For an ingredient as ubiquitous as bergamot, choosing just a few fragrances to feature is close to impossible.

However, in these fragrances bergamot takes the mainstage and is not just a supporting role.

bergamot citrus

Bergamot (and citrus in general) is usually considered a unisex scent appropriate for both men and women and is best worn in warm weather.

Fernweh Editions Fern & Petals Candle

Our Shortlist For Best Bergamot Perfumes

Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto Di Calabria La Spugnatura Edt

Best Overall

From the name already, it's clear Acqua di Parma’s Blu Mediterraneo Bergamotto di Calabria EDT is an ode to the heart of bergamot growing in Italy.

The landscape of Calabria is described through a mix of bergamot, Amalfi lemon, neroli, and cedar notes. The scent feels light and fresh, like a walk on a sunny Mediterranean beach, and is a perfect introduction to bergamot.

aqua-universalis

It's a versatile crisp, clean, musky scent that could be worn for casual, work, or evening wear. It feels elegant and uplifting.

floris-bergamotto

byredo-pulp-2

Best Fruity Floral

Byredo Pulp is a study in contrasts. Sweet but not cloying. Green but not sharp. Dry but also mouthwatering.

It's a fresh and strong fragrance and the bergamot is layered with fig, black currant and red apple notes for an overload of fruit that never overwhelms.

11 Best Unisex Bergamot Perfumes: Incredibly Citrus

Best Pure Citrus Blast

Annick Goutal’s Eau d’Hadrien came out in 1981, entered the FiFi Award Hall of Fame in 2008 and is still one of the brand's best-selling fragrances.

Inspired by the Tuscan landscape, it's a fresh, clean perfume with nearly all citrus notes including bergamot, grapefruit, Sicilian lemon, citron, mandarin orange, and ylang-ylang with only cypress to and aldehydes to break out for the pure citrus blast. It works though, and beautifully so.

le-jardin-li

Best Asian-Inspired

Unlike most Italian focused bergamot fragrances, Le Jardin de Monsieur Li explores bergamot's Asian roots.

Fernweh Editions Candles

The garden is a purely imagined garden of awakening and harmony created by Hermes in-house perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena who traveled around China for inspiration.

It includes Asian standbys such as jasmine and bamboo along with plum, kumquat, and mint — all entwined and lifted with bergamot.

tom-ford-Venetian-Bergamot

Best Sexy Bergamot

Tom Ford’s Venetian Bergamot is a spicier, richer take on bergamot. Gardenia and bergamot dominate this floral citrus scent.

Sharp black and pink peppercorn along with ginger notes open the fragrance while sandalwood balances it with a warmer, richer scent. A smooth and luxurious scent.

bergamote-calabria-1

Best Pure Bergamot

Guerlain’s Aqua Allegoria Bergamote Calabria is an uncomplicated tribute to bergamot.

With only six fragrance notes it consists of top notes of bergamot and petitgrain, heart notes of cardamom and ginger, and base notes of white musk and woody.

It's light and delicate, similar to the beautiful bottle it comes in. If you want a simple fragrance with character, give this one a try.

Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot Cologne

Best Musky Floral

If you are looking for a floral, unisex bergamot perfume, we highly recommend Jo Malone Oud & Bergamot. This Jo Malone bergamot perfume is primarily a lemon blossom scent that both men and women will appreciate. 

The floral does not come off as too strong since there are hints of cedar and black musk to offset the lemon blossom. The scent is not overwhelming but strong enough that those around you will notice.

Bergamot Bloom EDT

Best Citrus Bergamot

If you want to stay away from the florals and prefer something more citrusy, we love the Bergamot Bloom EDT By Carolina Herrera. While it is marketed as a bergamot perfume for ladies, both men and women will find the scent of this perfume appealing. 

It is a citrus-based scent with initial notes of lemon, bergamot, and ginger, which you will notice upon your first inhale. And there are also touches of pink pepper and jasmine.

Bergamote 22 EDP

Best Simple Bergamot

Another one of the best bergamot perfumes is the Le Labo Bergamote 22 EDP. This Le Labo scent combines petit grain floral, grapefruit, amber, and musk.

You can also customize the label on this bottle with up to 23 characters. You will love this scent if you want something unique and simple.
