Bergamot opens crisp and clear before melting almost immediately into a honeyed jasmine heart — the citrus acts less as a top note and more as a brightener for what follows.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens crisp and clear before melting almost immediately into a honeyed jasmine heart — the citrus acts less as a top note and more as a brightener for what follows. The honey reads as naturalistic rather than candy-sweet, carried by the jasmine rather than laid on top of it. The base is the frame: sandalwood and amber provide warmth, while patchouli and cedar add a slight earthiness to keep the sweetness from drifting into gourmand territory. The result is a compact oriental floral — straightforward and wearable, without significant evolution. Works best in cooler weather when its warmth has something to contrast against.
