By the editors · 2 min readBergamot's zesty citrus burst opens with a fresh spark that feels bright and slightly tart on initial application. Neroli emerges quickly with its aromatic floral character, blending orange blossom warmth with a green bitter edge that complements the citrus top. Ambergris provides a mineralic animalic base that adds a saline depth, while amber contributes a warm resinous sweetness that rounds out the composition. The scent remains relatively linear, focusing on the neroli-citrus accord with a subtle animalic undertone that becomes more noticeable as the fragrance dries down. Projection is moderate initially but becomes intimate within two hours, making it suitable for warm weather casual wear with a longevity of four to six hours. This is a straightforward citrus-aromatic with a touch of animalic warmth in the base.
