Bergamota

Tannin is the only thing structured enough to hold that much linalyl acetate.

Fat catches the perfume and slows it; infuse cold, then set with the acid.

It is the definition, not a pairing. Linalyl acetate over malt, nothing else.

Cocoa bitterness meets peel bitterness; the floral note is what survives both.

Floral sugar to floral peel. It is the same register at two different volumes.

Both are mostly linalyl acetate. Use one or the other, never a full measure of each.

The peel is candied because nothing else makes that bitterness edible.

Benzaldehyde is floral enough to keep up and blunt enough to give the perfume a floor.

Calabria dresses raw fish with the zest and good oil. Nothing else in the bowl.

A botanical the distillers should use more; juniper and bergamot share resins.

Sweet shellfish and perfume, no acid needed beyond a grating of the peel.

Bitter perfume cuts liver fat where a sweet jelly would just add weight.

Perfume on iodine. It should not work and it does, provided you use only zest.

Peel oil against mutton fat; it reads like a herb rub rather than a citrus.
