PERFUMER H BERGAMOT REVIEWS
Fragrantica: When I first smelled this in a local shop I immediately knew I had to have it at some point. It smelled like the most fresh and interesting bergamot I've smelled, a balance of super bright and clean with heavier notes thanks to the juniper. I might love it so much because of the juniper, since I grew up in a desert infested with what my dad always called the invasive junipers, often mistaken for cedars. The juniper is so strong that there is almost a petrichor element for me, reminding me of the dusty branches, freshly rained on. This scent also transforms a lot on me—there is about an hour where it gets super sweet like candy, maybe from the presence of lemon. Funnily, that subsides into a funky and surprising backbone for a bergamot scent, a resinous note I am beginning to pick out in many of my favorite perfumes, even ones that are far flung from this one. All in all, I think this is a unique bergamot, and a nice long-lasting one, too—took a shower on the first day after wearing it and it was still there on my arm after. I love it so much that it has become my very first full sized bottle after a year of learning about perfume and sampling scents—my daily scent has been found, at least for this season
Fragrantica: This is a nuanced, incredibly real and fresh, high quality composition that stays with the wearer in a reminder that perfume can be art. And good art, can of course be simple. There is nothing synthetic-smelling about this perfume. It is a good-natured friend, extending to the wearer some love and light in the form of zingy, real bergamot zest, light aromatics and aldehydic sparkle.
