Scent History

Bergamot:
Bergamot, with its distinctive citrusy aroma and flavor, has a history rooted in the sunny landscapes of Southern Italy. Believed to be a hybrid of the sour orange and lemon, it earned its name from the Italian city of Bergamo, where it was first cultivated. In the 18th century, bergamot found fame as a prized ingredient in perfumes and fragrances, thanks to its unique and invigorating scent extracted from the fruit's peel. Beyond perfumery, bergamot has made its mark in the world of tea, notably as the defining flavor in Earl Grey tea, named after the 2nd Earl Grey of the UK. Today, bergamot remains cherished for its versatility, from its use in aromatherapy for relaxation to its presence in various culinary delights, ranging from desserts to beverages. Bergamot's history is a fragrant journey influencing perfumery, tea culture, and the world of aromatics.

Lavender:
Lavender, prized for its soothing scent and versatility, has a history reaching back millennia, likely originating in the Mediterranean. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Greeks appreciated its worth, with its name stemming from the Latin "lavare," meaning "to wash." Romans, in particular, cherished lavender, using it in their baths for relaxation. They introduced lavender to Great Britain during their occupation, sowing the seeds of its popularity. Over time, it spread across Europe, becoming a garden favorite and finding use in perfumes, potpourri, and remedies. In England, lavender's presence grew, adorning gardens and serving culinary and medicinal purposes. Today, English lavender fields, like those in the Cotswolds and Norfolk, are beloved for their beauty and fragrant allure, symbolizing history and aromatic appeal.

Oranges:
Oranges, renowned for their vibrant color and refreshing taste, boast a history tracing back to ancient China. The orange tree, Citrus sinensis, likely originated in Southeast Asia and was mentioned in Chinese literature as early as 314 BC. From China, the orange's popularity spread to India and the Mediterranean through ancient trade routes. Although ancient Romans and Persians cultivated oranges for their sweet and tangy flavor, these fruits were initially bitter and primarily used for medicinal purposes. During the Age of Exploration, Portuguese and Spanish explorers introduced sweet oranges to the Americas, particularly in areas that would become Florida and California, giving rise to various orange varieties, including the renowned Valencia and Navel oranges. Today, oranges are a global staple, enjoyed fresh, as juice, or as a versatile ingredient in countless culinary delights, symbolizing health and vitality worldwide.
