Orange & Bergamot Molton Brown 2019 Eau de Parfum

This is how I would write the slogan for this fragrance, in my opinion.
My first encounter with the scent was some time ago during a hotel stay. The hotel had a partnership with the brand Molton & Brown, and so there were some pleasantly scented goodies in the rooms for guests. As someone already quite interested in fragrances at the time, I couldn't resist testing the available samples on site. Among them, Orange & Bergamot Eau de Parfum particularly stuck in my memory.
Some time later, I received the fragrance along with a shower gel as a Christmas gift (probably on my sister's suggestion). The shower gel was immediately saved for some special occasions, and to my shame, the bottle was stored away by my dear partner in the "cosmetics supply cupboard" and thus forgotten until I found it again a few months ago (around the beginning of the year).
Enough of the backstory,
let's finally get to the most important part, the scent itself!
For me, the fragrance opens with a blend of citrusy, fruity, and refreshing notes; I can't particularly pick out any of them, but I find it balanced, and the opening immediately puts me in a feel-good mode. You feel at home, in a relaxation area, slowed down and instantly relaxed.
After about 20 minutes, some shy notes of powdery flowers come in, underlined by subtly spicy accords, while the fresh notes continue to resonate.
As the scent approaches the base notes, I feel completely relaxed as well.
The notes of sandalwood, balsam, and musk give me the feeling of a cozy warm resting room: perfectly tempered, quiet, feeling good, and shutting off my thoughts. Just being relaxed and not having to think about anything.
Often, when I've had stressful days in everyday life, this fragrance became my evening couch scent after showering to unwind.
Thank you for reading, and I wish you many moments filled with relaxation, well-being, and wellness feeling.
