What does Hemlock & Bergamot smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter trails well behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office. In the character votes, feminine comes first, with modern and masculine not far behind.

Bergamot and cucumber give it a citrusy, green freshness. Heliotrope and mimosa turn that freshness towards a creamy, sweetish, powdery floral. Blackcurrant adds a light fruity touch, and hemlock reinforces the green tone. With no split into top, heart and base, the scent reads as one fresh, green impression from start to finish.
