More like a Dacia

Starts off with classic lemon/bergamot and some very faint pepper, quite zesty but a bit synthetic. After that a strong, sharp, harsh and synthetic cardemom, geranium and spice concoction gradually takes over. The spicy notes reminds me of Voyage d’Hermes, a perfume I find ruined by the overindulged grabs from the spice rack. However, this one has a more synthetic base, which makes it worse. After several hours we are left with som standard but nice balsam/sandal notes. This is not a Ferrari, they have simply slapped the badge on a Dacia Logan hoping that it should work. It doesn’t.

Another hyped Ferrari...

Once you spray this one you'll get a zesty bergamot blast together with some lime and ginger. The bergamot is a bit syntetic, but not bad at all. I really enjoy this intro! But i have to say that it does smell quite a lot different on skin than on paper (duh!?!?). After about 30min the bergamot tones down and the nutmeg and geranium enters. A bit of sweetnes but not at all a "disturbing kind of sweetnes", like rather pleasant sweetnes. This lasts around 4-5h on my skin and sits close to the skin after about an hour.

In my humble opinion this one is not as bright as "Bright Neroli", but it is really good. Both are made for spring/summer, but Bright Neroli is more uplifting to my nose.
As allways, don't bother the gender talk... Just spray on whatever you'd like!

Radioactive Bergamot

This series from Ferrari definitely has ambition: According to the striking name, the other three should be 1. pure lavender, 2. noble fig, and 3. bright neroli. And here we have 4. the bergamot from the line. It is supposed to shine. Well, well. I actually find the name quite fitting. It does radiate quite strongly, but comparatively more in a nuclear-radioactive sense.

Radiant Bergamot starts with a slightly shrill citrus note, sharpened with ginger. Even though it’s not listed, I also perceive something minimally minty. This trio makes up the bulk of the fragrance for me, with the ginger providing the (exciting) edgy quality. Shortly after, an indefinable creamy note comes in, possibly from the amber. However, I can't really identify that, just as I can't with the other listed notes. The bright citrus simply becomes softer and smoother over time. That’s it. Perhaps you can sense a hint more spiciness towards the end. But that’s really all there is.

Unlike the Pure Lavender, which I had first and which didn’t convince me, the cool vibe runs through the entire development here. With its somewhat exaggerated, artificially futuristic aura, it strongly reminds me of Mugler Cologne. Just the craftsmanship, mind you; content-wise, they don’t have much in common. Fresh and creamy isn’t reinvented here, but it is interpreted in a really interesting way.

Visually, this perfume series also makes an impression. They all have the same heavy glass bottle with a solid cap and leather application. Stylish. Unfortunately, the longevity is only mediocre, which is a small downside. But you can currently get the fragrances from this series quite cheaply. Price/performance is definitely acceptable.

Radiant bergamot? Yes. Radiantly beautiful, like a mushroom cloud. Natural? Of course not! And the worst part is: I think it’s great.
