ChypreWhat does Bergamote smell like?
The three citrus notes lead the opening, while jasmine and heliotrope bring a floral, powdery softness to the heart, with clove and rosemary adding a spicy, slightly herbal edge. Patchouli, oakmoss and amber carry the chypre character into the base, and tonka bean sweetens the finish. The accords also include a synthetic side, but overall it reads fresh, citrusy and lightly sweet.
There are too few votes to say anything about longevity, sillage or season. Harry Lehmann Lambada and Mazzolari Hartley have a close profile.
