Citrus

Bergamot Crude Bottom Fraction

Original designation: Bergamotte Fonds Bruts

Citrus × bergamia Risso & Poit.

A bergamot bottom fraction turns the familiar cologne spark toward rind, tea and waxy-green depth. It is citrus seen through old glass—less flash, more texture, and especially compelling as a bridge into moss, leather or flower.

At the perfumer’s organ

In the organ, use it to build shadowed colognes, enrich tea accords and introduce chypre openings. As top note, it offers signature rather than mere theme.

Extraction & expression

Fractionation isolates a particular register of a larger material. Heads and terpene cuts tend toward lift; hearts focus the central identity; body and bottom cuts gather weight, shadow and less-volatile depth. The crude grade keeps a broad, unpolished spectrum—often the most textural and revealing view of the source. A bottom cut explores the darker, heavier and less-volatile end of the material.
