By the editors · 2 min readComposed by Jo Malone for Zara's Ocean Collection, Caviar Bergamot is a clean, citrus-forward unisex built for warmth. Three citrus notes land simultaneously — bergamot leading, lemon providing acid lift, grapefruit adding a mildly bitter underpinning. The trio reads brisk and saline rather than sweet. Ginger at the heart introduces a precise warmth that prevents the opening from feeling merely hygienic; jasmine offers a whisper of white-floral softness bridging the transition.
The musk base is airy and skin-close, allowing the dry-down to feel effortlessly clean. Longevity outperforms typical Zara releases, a reflection of Jo Malone's involvement. A well-structured summer citrus that earns its price-to-quality argument.
