Perfect Summer Citrus

My most recent blind buy, since I wanted a summer citrus without spending a lot ($75 for 100ml).

Overall I am very impressed. After the initial blast of bergamot, the jasmine and ylang ylang surface, supported by cedar and possibly white musk. At times I thought it could have been more feminine than unisex, but this morning my shirt had a nice, freshly laundered clean scent (maybe similar to MFK’s aqua series). I look forward to wearing this more, especially in the summer heat.

Overall longevity is pretty good (for a citrus). 3 hours with moderate projection, then a skin scent for another 2-3 hours.

Nice Bergamot - Brazilian Limonada

More than nice, Nice (pronounced nees) Bergamot was a surprising highlight from the Essential Parfums collection. I don't usually gravitate to citrus. It often feels "thin" or "stringy", so I kept putting it off until it was the last sample I tried from the brand's discovery set. But I was humbled!

Paired with the creamy white jasmine, the overall profile is beautiful and full-bodied, perfect for sunny days and a leisurely weekend. It's almost like a Brazilian limonada, a drink made with limes and condensed milk. The milk softens the sharpness of the limes, adding creamy texture and a sweetness. The jasmine does the same thing. (It brings to mind Acqua di Parma's Yuzu, which softens a yuzu note with creamy mimosa and watery florals.)

I also love that it's squarely unisex. I wish guys would be more open to trying things outside designer brands like Versace Eros and YSL. This would be the perfect fit for someone looking for a seasonal, daytime fragrance.

One of the house's best (imo)

The opening alone wins me over, not to say this is anything mind-blowing (like anything else from this house) but it sure is very pleasant and a happy scent.
Juicy bergamot opening, and then settles into clean citrus floral scent with that bergamot and jasmine combo, very nice, would make a perfect spring/summer scent if it had just a little bit more bergamot.
That being said I get in a better mood every time I spray a little on myself so, hats off Antoine!

A solid floral perfume

Nice Bergamote from Essential Perfumes is certainly not bad, but it has it's flaws. The name suggests a strong note of bergamote, which i was missing, don't get me wrong it is present, but not in the foreground. The first accord which comes up immediately is some kind of floral note, which is very pleasent and not pungent at all, it feels light and is therefore pretty good for spring and summer times. I really like this fragrance, but I wouldn't buy it myself, because I would argue, that it is more of a feminine fragrance than as it was suggested a unisex fragrance. The longevity is actually not to bad, especially for a 80€ perfume (100ml).
At last I would recommend you to smell it first, if you are interested in bergamot fragrance, because this particullary note is not very present

Bergamot paired with watery florals

I'm always down to try another bergamot or citrus forward fragrance as I absolutely enjoy citrus fragrances although they often have poor performance. I do have to say I did enjoy this one, although it doesn't eclipse the others I already have in my collection which is why I won't be getting a full bottle. It's still a very nice take on bergamot and a nice contender if you're looking for a citrus freshie fragrance for warm temperatures, but the thing is bergamot isn't the star of this fragrance.

Even though bergamot is omnipresent in this fragrance and starts the fragrance off very well, there's the note of jasmine that arrives to match its energy. Jasmine is watery and on the aquatic, fresh side. I sometimes felt it overshadowed the bergamot note. I start detecting a soft ylang-ylang note in the backgroun that adds floral depth to the fragrance. Drydown becomes woodier with a powderiness I recognized from the tonka bean. It also remains quite fresh up until the end although the citrus freshness has faded a bit.

Performance is not the best, although it project longer than what I thought. Scent is faint on my skin after a whole morning. Like I said, I won't be going for a full bottle, but for someone in search of a floral paired with a nice bergamote, this could be a nice addition!
