Radiant Bergamot

The truth of Radiant Bergamot: *Inexpensive, but not cheap smelling per se. *Crowd pleasing, but well blended. *Easy to wear, more traditionally "masculine"(if you follow such things... I personally do not.) *Short lived on skin, but will last a morning-to-afternoon on clothes. *Suitable anywhere: office, first date, after the gym, and surprisingly an all-season citrus scent (though best in warm weather I'd imagine) Yeah, it's simple. Sure, it's light. But it has some great qualities for those who really dig freshy and uncomplicated. Its definitely citrus, but in a little more generic way... not specifically "bergamot", but has the clean shower and shave burst that makes it easy to appreciate. It definitely echos Acqua Di Parma Colonia, but it is just that: an echo. It doesn't have the same classic smoothness as Acqua Di Parma. Thats not a bad thing, though. Once you spray it on your skin: First blast: its zingy and loud like a brief chime or chord, but immediately settles down. 15 mins in: green, citrus, spicy, and almost aquatic. Present but not loud. Crisp, ready to take on the day. It stays close to this for a few hours on clothes. 1 hour in: Green musk with a hint of citrus and spice. Classic barbershop soap. Too clean and crisp to be woodsy. 3 hours in: musk with a mossy green sparkle, but only a skin scent at this point. Overall: I like it. I'll own it for as long as they make it. And you can't go wrong with the price. I imagine it would layer well with more niche brands that share the same notes or vibe.

Holy Crap, Batman! Radiant Bergamot is surprisingly good and extremely friendly on the wallet!!! I gotta admit that these citrus-aromatics aren't my favorite fragrance genre, but I do enjoy wearing them during the pounding heat of late-Spring and Summer. My biggest compliant is many of the great ones comes with a hefty price-tag, while performing abysmally on my skin, so shelling-out 2-3 hundred buckazoids for a citrus aromatic is something I rarely do. Two years ago I discovered Bright Neroli--from Ferrari, no less--that I actually prefer over the stellar Neroli Portofino. It's not quite as rich and luxurious of a scent, but it is very close, performs well, solid presentation, and costs only a fraction of the price. Fast-forward to last week and my bottle of Ferrari Radiant Bergamot arrived in the mail. In a nutshell, I get strong shades of Bergamot 22 combined with hints of that Aqcua di Parma di Parma Mediterranean DNA...again, in a nice presentation for something like $30. I find it to be a brilliant interpretation and one that I will be reaching for often this Summer. Perhaps I should have stopped writing my review after stating, "Holy Crap, Batman!" Radiant Bergamot is tied with Bright Neroli as my favorites from Ferrari. But your mileage may vary.

Originally bought 4 years ago (pre - covid). Hate it back then because of the spicy note creating aura of old - school cologne (think Hermes Eau d'Orange Verte). Performance is not too great either. Try to sell it but my spray head broke so I decided to keep it & end up forgetting it exists. Recently just rediscover this and decided to give it another shot by decanting it to a new bottle. I feel like I'm growing into this scent. Really like it. The opening is fresh, spicy with little hint of sweetness. It didn't change much further and pretty much getting softer over time. It projects only decently but didn't last too long on my skin. I got around 3-4 hrs and it's gone. With this in mind, however, it serves a great function in my fragrance wardrobe. It smells clean, soft & inoffensive so I can use it around "cologne hater". When you're going around "low fragrance" settings like gym, one spray on body plus one on cloth is all you need (I'm a sissy sprayer :D). Going for a quick errand? This won't overwhelm whomever you share your car with. I live in hot & humid weather so I can use this all year. Overall a great buy for its function if you can get it for cheap. But scent style is a bit old - school so stay away if you prefers modern scent.

Right from the first sniff I knew that this would be one of my favorites. I'm a lover of bergamot and most of the time a little dissapointed, that this component is mainly a short-lived top note of fragrances. But not in Radiant Bergamot, here I can revel in the citrusy freshness of it the whole time. Ginger, rosemary, and moss give this scent a sharp and aromatic accord, patchouli ensures just a hint of sweetness, an overall very good balanced creation. I purchased Radiant Bergamot after reading the great reviews here, I would never have even tried something from Ferrari before that, not considering it to be more than a producer of testosterone-laden red cars. I have been proven quite wrong and since this is such a fantastic scent at such an afforable price, I just ordered two more for backup. Also the minimalistic bottles of Radiant Bergamot and the whole Essence Collection are such a nice thing to look at and easy to store. Fragrances for women are often over-elaborated, festooned, and not very handy -- I'm thinking of my bottle of Montblanc Lady Emblem that tilts in every direction. Sometimes less is more...

After many tests in both hot and cold weather - normally I wouldn't do the latter, but I just love this perfume so much - I must say this is the longest lasting citrus fragrance I have yet encountered, and I have tried many of those. For a citrus freshie its longevity is simply phenomenal on me (easily 8+ hours), contrary to some oher reviewers' experiences. It's mostly bergamot with a hint of ginger, a hint of nutmeg and a hint of sweetness. And it's incredibly linear, the smell remains quite the same, it just weakens in projection. I have read in some other perfumes' reviews that a linear perfume is a bad perfume. Let mi ask: why so? If you love the scent's opening, you may like it not evolving, I think. In my opinion linearity is not always a bad thing and I love the linearity of Radiant Bergamot!

A well-hyped offering with high expectations, Ferrari Radiant Bergamot is primarily a bright burst of bergamot and lemon with some herbal, spicy undertones--namely, rosemary and ginger--as well as hints of sweetness from nutmeg and labdanum. The composition feels bold while being refreshing and agreeable all the same. Its density isn't lacking for a warm weather daytime wear, and it fittingly projects for a couple of hours before becoming more of a skin scent. The elephant in the room is the pricing, which is, obscenely, only $25 for the standard 100ml bottle size on FragranceX, a steal by most measures. Radiant Bergamot's quality and price render it an elite cheapie, certainly worthy of owning for casual, warm-weather, daytime wearing. Very impressive. 8 out of 10

Could be called "Sparkling Bergamot." It surprised me as it is more spicy that I had expected given the name "Radiant Bergamot." The ginger makes the bergamot seem effervescent to my nose. The nutmeg is one of the more dominant notes which adds both spice and sweetness to the green and seemingly synthetic bergamot. I haven't smelled much like it. As a whole the latest "clear glass bottle" EDT Essentials line from Ferrari are excellent values for the price. My fave is Noble Fig followed by a tie between this and Bright Neroli, and lastly by Pure Lavender. They all punch WAY above their weight. As they are currently discontinued, get them NOW before they get priced insanely high. They will be priced high in the future, because they are that good.

This smells really good and the notes in the pyramid are spot on. The citrus spicy blend is refreshing and zingy and very pleasant. It IS soapy and clean and a classic barbershop scent for a gentleman. It is a smell of class and sophistication that will easily dress up or down. I love this for its potential versatility. I do overspray this one because it is not going to blow anyone away no matter how much you spray. I spray quite a bit just so I can smell myself. It is a real background scent. I spray chest and shirt, so it has more sillage and longevity. This is a winner and the price is right. I hope it stays in production with this formulation intact. Ferrari has impressed me with this and Bright Neroli.

Ferrari stupidly discontinued this line (Fig, bergamot, lavender, neroli), and kept those whatever intact. The opening is mostly ginger and bergamot, decorated with nutmeg and rosemary. It's freshly sweet but not cloying. The drydown smells like mung bean paste. That's REALLY estival!! Mung bean popsicles and mung bean soup are indispensable parts of everyone's memory of summer and childhood in this country. I obtained a bottle from FNet and it was leaking :(, so I used a whole bottle up within a month and never was able to get a second bottle. The green juice was so beautiful.

I don’t take issue with linear perfumes, and Radiant Bergamot doesn’t change on my skin. After 15 minutes it’s the same scent to the end, just losing a little power along the way. Shockingly beautiful, a strong citrus with nutmeg, rosemary and ginger. If patchouli is present it’s with a light touch. I can’t beleive the longevity for this citrus scent, in cold weather I’m getting 4 hours plus....with projection. It’s a lovely beast, unisex and cheapie cheap. If you like Bergamot, you gotta put it on your list.

But the illusion dies, time returns us to noisy cities where the sky is only patches of blue, high up, between the cornices. Rain wearies the ground; over the buildings winter's tedium thickens. Light grows niggardly, the soul bitter. And, one day, through a gate ajar, among the trees in a courtyard, we see the yellows of the lemon trees; and the heart's ice thaws, and songs pelt into the breast and trumpets of gold pour forth epiphanies of Light! The lemons, by E. Montale.

What a great fragrance this is that you can get for a steal! Radiant Bergamot has high quality natural smell that you may think would cost more than it actually does. Although the fragrance is quite linear, I personally do not have a problem with it since the scent is rich with character. I have great memories rocking this one in the summer and I'm looking forward for the weather to get warm again so I could reunite with RB once again:)

Crisp bergamot juice, fresh lemon zest, and the tart spiciness of ginger warmed up by nutmeg. This is not a linear bergamot scent, it retains the strength of the bergamot through the life of the fragrance but it has these wonderful masculine spices that create a sense of warmth and intrigue. A solid compliment getter and as a woman, I can say that this fragrance would definitely make we want to be closer to my man!

I was lucky and got a good deal on a bottle of this fragrance, for the first hours this scent reminds me of a cross between Acqua di parma essenza de colonia and Acqua Essenziale Colonia Salvatore Ferragamo but i like this one better as it is more fruity and fresh, the drydown is where this fragrance shines it smells soooooooo good.

کیفیت خوبی داره. خوب ترکیب شده نت هاش. بیشتر هم هممون بوی ترنج میده و لیمو . ولی در پیشزمینه بوی صابونی و شمدانی و نعناع هندی هم میشه تشخیص داد ولی خیلی کمرتگ. پخش بو و ماندگاری قابل قبوله البته نسبت به قیمت که میشه خوب واقعا خوبه. جز گزینه های ارزون و با کیفیت برای خرید عطر تابستونی هست .

Me parece un aroma extremadamente rico y opulento en su salida, unisex, pero en el secado se torna femenino, y la verdad lo vendí por eso, ya que soy hombre. La salida me encantó debo decirlo, una bergamota de máxima calidad

A great alternative to the much expensive Acqua di Parma colonia. A clasic italian scent, the performance is moderate but for the price I paid I can reaply during the hot summer days.

Another old school barbershop citrus scent. I thought it would smell cheap but it doesnt . Its similar to adp colonia. Great cheapie for summer/spring.

Excellent summer fragrance. Natural and high quality ingredients. Perfect combination of notes.

God I love this, it just smells so good and everyone always loves it
