What does Italian Bergamot (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Most voters pick summer and spring, and winter is rarely chosen. Daily wear, leisure and business get the most votes. Longevity is rated moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters read it as masculine.

The scent is built from bergamot, neroli, rosemary and vetiver. Citrus and fresh accords lead, with floral and green sides softening them. Sweet, fruity and spicy touches stay in the background, while the woody side comes through with the vetiver. Ferrari Bright Neroli and Ermenegildo Zegna Acqua di Bergamotto have a close profile.
