What does Bergamote Soleil smell like?

It opens with bright, slightly bitter citrus from bergamot and bitter orange, softened by ambrette seed. In the heart, cardamom adds spice alongside lavender and jasmine. White amber, vetiver and oakmoss form a woody, green base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most common settings. Votes for masculine and feminine are level, so it reads as truly in between. It has been discontinued. Atelier Cologne Mandarine Glaciale and Atelier Cologne Grand Néroli have a close profile.
