What does 1872 Bergamot smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated strong, though the vote count is small, so that reading is tentative. There is no season or occasion data to lean on; the scent sits on the masculine side, and its fresh build suits daytime wear.

It opens with mandarin orange, bergamot, rosemary and lavender, where citrus and green sit side by side. Clary sage and neroli add a soft floral note in the heart, and patchouli gives the base a woody, earthy footing. Spicy and fruity touches round out the fougère character.
