"The joy of tasting"
I'm not surprised that BMW is launching a fresh fragrance of all things. After all, fresh is the most pleasing DNA for Western noses.

I had the honor of attending the Fragrance Workshop of "Bergamood" and "Amberness". Each ingredient was presented and tested individually, including the story behind it. The aim was to create fragrances that stimulate neurological areas that we automatically like. Clearly, according to the motto "Designed for pleasure" - or rather: "Designed to sell".

And that's absolutely fine. Because Bergamood really does smell good, refreshing and pleasant. The opening even has a slight sweetness thanks to the mandarin. Very pleasing, very friendly.

The longevity is moderate, as is the sillage, but the price is fair.

The bottle stands on a hemisphere and wobbles every time you put it down - a little design gimmick that symbolizes joy and playfulness.

If you feel connected to the brand, you should try it out! Maybe you'll get a BMW for your nose ;)

In the mood for 22 bergamots
Whenever I see bergamot-centered fragrances, I have to try them. Citrus-dominant fragrances are my absolute comfort zone. So I recently noticed this fragrance from Bavarian car brand BMW, which I hadn't previously associated with perfumes. No wonder, as they only launched their first two this spring. This follows other car brands that have increasingly discovered the lucrative business of fine perfumery in recent years. The results vary greatly in terms of quality. So far, only some of the Ferrari fragrances have convinced me. Surprisingly and pleasingly, this also applies to 'Bergamood' (unfortunately not to 'Amberness', the brand's second fragrance).

Fragrance character:
Like other car brands, BMW is not taking any risks and had Frank Voelkl and Alexandra Monet design a clean and very sociable citrus fragrance. It concentrates strongly on the predominantly natural bergamot note and underpins it - in my impression - with a carefully dosed ambrox-musk combination. The scent reminds me very strongly of Le Labo's 'Bergamote 22', so much so that I would describe them as fragrance twins. Both are bergamot fragrances on a somewhat artificial, woody-creamy musk base. In comparison, the American seems a little denser, more "animalic" in its musky tone (albeit very restrained in this respect) and more valuable overall, but the German does not fall significantly short. It is somewhat thinner or more permeable and lighter, as well as less "impure" and "animalic" in the musky note - this characteristic is really only marginally noticeable here - which I personally like both even better. The bergamot note is not quite as juicy, which may be concealed by the minimal use of ethyl maltol, which gives the note a slightly tingling fruity sweetness. The musk is slightly less thickened and the ambrox is less shower gel-like. The slight herbaceousness of the original has also been dimmed, making it feel a little cleaner - supported by the cleaner musk. Nevertheless, as with the Le Labo fragrance, the creamy underpinning bothers me a little too much, so it is not a candidate for me to buy. With a more restrained use of the base, it would have been.

Longevity and sillage:
Both are within a manageable range. The Le Labo fragrance lasts longer and projects much more perceptibly, which in my view is an indication of the higher quality of its very similar ingredients.

Conclusion:
Anyone who appreciates 'Bergamote 22' but - like me - doesn't want to support the brand's pricing policy can turn to the BMW fragrance with a clear conscience. The almost identical eau de parfum is available at around a quarter of the price. However, if the external effect is very important to you (in the sense of "being noticed"), you should go for the Le Labo fragrance. Apart from that, a very successful bergamot alternative on the market - especially at this price.
