By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens bright and effervescent, its citrus oils fizzing like sherbet against a faintly sweet apple skin undertone. Apple and melon slide in quickly, adding a crisp aqueous sweetness that keeps the top from turning sour while saffron threads a dry, hay-like warmth through the fruit. As the heart settles, peach fuzz lactones emerge, softening the saffron and preparing a suede-textured bridge to the base. White musk blankets the composition in clean laundry fuzz, letting the leather stay supple rather than smoky, while amber and vanilla create a pale caramel glow that lingers close to skin. Projection remains polite, a scented halo that lasts office hours yet never shouts across a room. Best worn spring through early fall for work or casual travel when you want fruity brightness without adolescent sweetness.
