By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a familiar clean citrus brightness before the base takes over: sandalwood, amber, vanilla, patchouli, and musk — a substantial, well-cushioned oriental base. The transition from bergamot's fresh citrus to this warm, multi-layered foundation is smooth but significant.
Sandalwood provides creamy, smooth wood; amber adds soft resinous warmth; vanilla sweetens the base without pushing it into gourmand territory; patchouli adds depth and mild earthiness; musk keeps everything blended and skin-close.
The result is a warm, smooth oriental that is accessible and wearable — the kind of fragrance that works well in multiple contexts without demanding special occasion status. Well-suited to cool-weather casual and date settings.
