By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright citrus spark that quickly settles into a herbal-aromatic core dominated by thyme and lavender. The thyme provides a dry, slightly medicinal edge that contrasts with lavender's soft floral-powdery undertones. Vetiver grounds the composition with an earthy, woody dryness that prevents the herbs from feeling too sharp or green. This scent remains relatively linear after the initial citrus fade, holding its aromatic character close to the skin with moderate projection. It wears best in spring or fall during casual daytime occasions where its clean, herbal quality feels appropriate. Longevity is moderate, lasting four to six hours before fading to a soft skin scent.
