What does Bergamot (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top is all citrus: bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, lime and mandarin orange, with bell pepper adding a green edge. In the heart, spearmint, cardamom and ginger keep it spicy and crisp. Musk, sandalwood and cedar leave a soft, woody base underneath.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most named occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are almost level, so it reads comfortably on anyone. Mugler Hot Cologne and Atkinsons Mint & Tonic have a close profile.
