Calabrian Bergamot

Versace

**Eros Pour Femme** opens with a tart, almost candy-like pomegranate that feels bright and immediate, more juice bar than garden.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian

The opening is deceptively simple—a bright, airy wash of white florals that feels like spring morning light rather than a formal bouquet.

Hermès

Eau de Basilic Pourpre opens sharply with Calabrian bergamot and basil, the two notes competing for the same green-citrus register before separating.

Givenchy

L'Ange Noir EDT opens with Calabrian bergamot and pear — a slightly cool, fruity entry before iris takes hold.

Acqua Di Parma

Sakura opens on a citrus-peppery accord — bergamot, yellow mandarin, and pink pepper — light and slightly sparkly, with no great weight.

Xerjoff

Amabile opens with the uncomplicated brightness of an Italian morning: green apple and Amalfi lemon coming in quick and sharp before Calabrian bergamot and orange blossom soften the edges into something more floral.

Xerjoff

Ceylon opens with honey and jasmine sambac—warm, slightly waxy, natural rather than synthetic—before bergamot adds enough brightness to prevent the sweetness from becoming heavy.

Xerjoff

Soprano opens with lychee and freesia—genuinely tropical in its first impression, the lychee's sweetness held in check by bergamot pulling it back toward the familiar.

1907

A green-bitter petitgrain lifts off the skin first, threaded with the creamy banana-tinged sweetness of ylang-ylang.

Jean-Louis Scherrer

Galbanum opens alone at the top, sharp and bitter green, evoking crushed leaves and stems with no fruit or citrus to soften the entry.

Narciso Rodriguez

Giorgio Armani

Santal Dan Sha — part of Armani Privé's 2022 collection — is sandalwood at its most unhurried.

The Nose Behind

Iris and rose open the composition with a refined, slightly cool floral pairing, the iris adding a powdery dust that pulls the rose toward something more reserved than romantic.

Montale

Mint and sage open with garden-herb freshness that reads clean, if slightly utilitarian.

Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle

Calabrian bergamot and lemon slice open with crystalline brightness, their citrus oils shearing across grapefruit’s pithy bitterness to create a shimmering, almost effervescent top.

L'Occitane en Provence

Thé Bergamote is essentially a tea ceremony in citrus form.

Acqua Di Parma

Pink pepper and citrus open with a sparkling freshness that feels both bright and slightly peppery.

Jean-Louis Scherrer

Galbanum opens with a sharp, green, almost bitter edge that quickly establishes a crisp, vegetal character.
