By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a brief citrus lift before a full floral heart takes over — gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, and lily of the valley pressing together in a dense, clearly vintage-register arrangement. The ylang adds a creamy, slightly rubbery weight that anchors the lighter white florals.
The base introduces sandalwood alongside peach and plum, giving the composition a ripe, slightly jammy quality. Patchouli and tonka bean provide earthiness and warmth without darkening the overall tone too sharply.
The result is a soft-edged fruity floral with mossy undertones, leaning decidedly feminine in the classic sense. Moderate sillage and a warm-weather sensibility define its wearing character.
