Bergamote 22 by Le Labo

This is another scent I quite enjoy. On me, it's a half-and-half affair, one half being a rather traditional citrus cologne of orange and neroli over petitgrain and orange blossom (I never smell much upfront bergamot, personally). The other half of its personality is a very bright leafy green vetiver over rose geranium. If you can imagine layering a good citrus cologne like Eau d'Hadrien with Guerlain Vetiver, you'd end up with a fairly good idea what Bergamote 22 smells like. This makes for a very appealing mix, and is in my opinion the best of the extremely citrus-heavy vetivers out there.

It's a bit summery, and can feel a little trite or simple in colder weather when thoughts turn to smoky wood scents and heartwarming gourmands, but as a mix of bright vetiver and greens with happy citrus, it's perfect for a hot summer day.

Beautiful citrus

For men? Really, I'm not convinced. The day I wore this, I received so many compliments. I didn't feel like this needed gender bending at all.

I usually hate dominant citrus notes in my fragrances, especially when grapefruit plays a leading role, but Bergamote 22 has proven that a perfectly refreshing citrus scent without harshness or sour accords can be achieved.

Bergamote 22 sparkles with such brightness and prettiness. In truth, the name is a little misleading as the woods are quite a feature in this fragrance.

There's a sweet aspect to this fragrance that is difficult to explain. It's a clean floral to my nose with an interesting soapy quality, especially towards the drydown. I only noticed the sweetness on the tester card, but not my skin.

On my skin, the masculinity of this fragrance appears. For the first few minutes it's a clean and crisp blend of citrus and musk, however vetiver and amber really feature after the top notes fade. This fragrance also struggled to last on me.

On others Bergamote 22 has wonderful sillage and longevity. I so wanted this fragrance to work for me, but like all citrus scents, they don't go well with my chemistry.

I have not been entirely let-down by this fragrance, in fact I'm thoroughly impressed. I highly recommend.

Refreshing scent but with no legs

I don't believe in the myth that light citrus scents are best for warmer weather. I am inclined to wear stronger, more powerful scents because they last better as your skin heats up.
It's very warm today and finally I get to test this very hyped fragrance.
It's very natural with an authentic bergamot smell. The woody base is very subtle but pleasant. My issue is that it doesn't last long at all plus it has no projection whatsoever.
I have much better bergamot based fragrances in my collection that both last and project. It's a shame, and perhaps the current formulations are weaker than the past. A nice scent but due to the amount you need to apply and often, it's not worth the expense.

Freshen Up

I love how this opens. Like all Le Labo, this has a powerful complex opening that tells a whole story in fragrance. I wish it stayed there, or built on it. Instead it feels like it looses everything great it had and just becomes so boring. Great opening notes, but the dry down is a dull clean floral that almost entirely vanishes. Could be useful if you like a clean floral for a light refresher throughout the day but it's not something you wear, it's something you freshen up with.

Juicy! I love bergamot, so there's nothing for me to complain about scent-wise. But I'm starting to realize that Le Labo doesn't have much staying power as a whole. That combined with the price has really soured my opinion of them as a brand. I feel like this is much more of a $30 - $50 brand, rather than $90 - $300.
