Aaaaah,… everyone likes summer, right?
FALSE!! There are also people who don’t like summer that much, sometimes even can’t really stand it. There are those who can’t tolerate the heat. Which is quite understandable, as I also don’t always enjoy it when I stick to the seats or elsewhere on those very muggy days… and when I finally peel myself off, it feels like someone is trying to rip my skin or hair off… (well, seen that way, it’s a kind of free hair removal, but still… :D).
Then it can be a bit annoying if you didn’t get a chance for a vacation this year. Especially when the majority of summer here has brought only a few good days and instead there was a lot of rain… there were even floods recently… and the few good days were unfortunately those TOO hot and muggy days I described above, where you end up complaining again about the heat (yes,… one is never satisfied :DD)
Moreover, summer can be a total drag for those who are single… especially when the girls (from a male perspective :D) look so fresh, carefree, and lightly dressed… waaah! …. Hm, I guess that’s what they call “a lot of legroom”!!! he he *sigh* :D
Well… at least there are scents like this “Bergamote” from TDC that make the heat a little more bearable for a moment, only my cat runs away from such scents, but he doesn’t need such fragrances since he seems to really enjoy summer and lies peacefully on his back (and if he should be sleeping with a drooling mouth) in the sun, having a good time! I must say, he is quite enviable,… oh, to be a cat! :D
But let’s get to the scent!
The scent:
At the beginning, you smell citrusy bergamot and herbal ginger. The bergamot has, besides the refreshing effect, a slight tea-like aura and sometimes smells more like lemons/limes. Then you also smell oranges (instead of orange blossoms), so the scent has a long-lasting citrus aroma and is nicely refreshing.
The citrus notes are still well detectable in the heart note; I perceive the green scents a bit less. I think you can smell a bit of bitter-scented leaves or plant juices here, but the bitter tone fits well with the citrus fragrance direction.
I believe that later on, I also smell the sour rhubarb, as the scent note is somewhat similar to the rhubarb note from Hermès’ fragrance “Eau de Rhubarbe Écarlate,” which I have used more often on hot days lately (only no one here knows that, as I am often too lazy to indicate it in “What are you wearing?” here :D). However, this doesn’t last very long.
The base remains citrusy sour. However, you get the feeling that the scent smells quite similar from start to finish without any significant changes. A bit later, the scent gets a slightly sweet note from the musk.
The sillage and longevity:
The sillage is rather weak. At first, due to the citrus notes, it is still strong and refreshing, but the impression doesn’t last very long, so the scent quickly loses its strength and can really only be perceived nearby. Regarding longevity, the scent stays on the skin for about five or six hours, but you only really get to enjoy the scent for two or three hours, as the rest is just a faint remnant of the fragrance that is hardly noticeable.
The bottle:
The bottle is rectangular and apparently has either a label on the front, or things like the name and logo are printed directly on the bottle. The cap is, as always, the highlight of the bottle and looks like a rounded, chrome-plated staircase.
The scent itself is quite nice, as long as you are into citrus fragrances, because even though this scent is rather weak, it mostly smells just sourly refreshing, even if it becomes slightly sweeter in the base.
Aside from the weak sillage, the scent has a major weakness: It is too simple, too plain, too interchangeable, and just doesn’t smell that special, even if it doesn’t smell bad per se. But especially such citrus scents can be found everywhere, at various prices. At least the scent from The Different Company doesn’t have a synthetic aftertaste. If you happen to see the scent for little money, you can use it as a freshener for hot days, to possibly curse less when it gets too hot and you’re sticking everywhere…
Hmm… cats… lovable at any time, but on muggy hot days, so many hairs stick to your leg (when wearing shorts) from them rubbing against you, that it looks like you have fur yourself :D
