Bergamot opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that quickly yields to a warm cinnamon heart where the spice note dominates, turning the composition sweet-aromatic rather than fresh.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that quickly yields to a warm cinnamon heart where the spice note dominates, turning the composition sweet-aromatic rather than fresh. The cinnamon here is dry and woody, not gourmand, so the scent stays masculine and crisp while the tonka bean adds a soft almond-like creaminess that smooths the spice. Vanilla arrives early in the dry-down, coupling with tonka to create a light tobacco-tonka accord that feels clean rather than edible, while cedar provides a pencil-shaving wood backbone that keeps the base transparent. On skin the fragrance stays close, projecting no more than arm’s length for about five hours before settling into a faint cedar-vanilla skin trace.
