What does 22 Shades of Bergamot smell like?

The citrus notes lead, with orange blossom adding a soft floral touch and vanilla and musk bringing a creamy sweetness. Cedar, vetiver and amber form a woody base, while green and fruity shades keep the scent bright.

It lasts well and projects at a moderate level. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and office are the occasions named most often. Masculine and feminine votes sit close together, so it fits either way. Le Labo Bergamote 22 and Emir Just Bergamot have a close profile.
