golden, pleasantly tangy fruitiness
For decades, hardly any fragrance composition has been without it:
The scent of bergamot greets us with beautiful regularity - no top note without it.
As a component of chypre fragrances, it’s a “must,” or perhaps “because that’s just how it’s done.”
It seems a bit uninspired to me.
That’s why I am always fascinated by creations that manage without this citrus fruit with its heavily pitted skin and admittedly pleasant fruity aroma.
And now I encounter a fragrance called “Bergamot” from the very interesting brand Perfumer H, whose previously tested creations have pleasantly surprised me; they lack all the frills, allowing for a good focus on their scent themes.
What does Lyn Harris offer here?
I am very curious, as I have become somewhat bergamot-weary over the years.
An opening, pleasantly fruity-tangy, greets and delights me.
Here, only bergamot, lemons, and petitgrain, which is the zest of the pomeranze, have been combined; sweet or floral components have been omitted.
This previous mixture is elevated by the magic of neroli, which sparkles like little golden beetles.
I really like this, also because aldehydes have not been neglected, which for me simply belong to the hesperidic aromas; they always make the opening shine so vibrantly.
Now, rather rustic, herbal lavender appears with braided flower heads, contributing its aromas along with those of leaves and wood, supported by some cleverly placed clove and strongly fragrant juniper wood.
Thus, the classic division into top, heart, and base notes is already being dissolved: A harmoniously fresh-spicy whole emerges, held together by a well-measured network of not too dry incense.
The warm, sensual flash of tonka bean is more of a peripheral occurrence for me, softening the rather tangy (and thus pleasant for me) scent a bit, gently smoothing out any edges and corners.
I really like “Bergamot”; however, the sample may continue its journey.
I am curious where it will land, or is it traveling again on a now well-known route?
