Rêverie de Bergamote

The opening is very invigorating. Strong bergamot and zesty citrus with a strong herbal note. I immediately smelt the caraway. That licorice like accord with the herbs and citrus is so amazing to me. Its so crisp and just hits the olfactories just right with the caraway. One of my favorite openings ive smelt in a perfume. The dry down loses the initial cirtrus blast and settles into a winderful herbaceous earthy accord . The patchouli, lavendar and rosemary really take the stage. The Bergamot plays lovelt with the lavendar, such a cool, refreshing bridge. A few hours in, the moss and sandalwood gives a rich creamy earthy base, with a dry vetiver. From start to finish, the begamot, caraway, rosemary, lavender and patchouli are always with you. I was expecting a serious summer citrus freshie given its name. The first 5-10 minutes it is for sure. But it becomes a smooth, herbal spice with cool properties. It reminds me of a floral tinged Old Spice. I would bathe in this stuff! 😍 This has to be one of the most alluring scents ive experienced. Miller Harris has the most amazing perfumists. They create such captivating scents. The sillage is moderate but has a nice longevity. I cannot wait to get a bottle of this.

I'm actually surprised at some of these negative reviews, I don't usually love bergamot-heavy fragrances but I find it so smooth and refreshing here. Different folks, different noses I guess. It's not quite for me but I would love to smell this on my husband (I know fragrance doesn't have "gender" but it has the profile of the type of "freshie" that is usually marketed to men...I think this would smell lovely on anyone though). I don't love leather, vetiver, or patchouli either, but all the notes seem to balance each other out. I'm testing this on a colder day but I think this will smell even better on a warmer Spring/Summer day, as it evokes images of clear blue skies on a bright sunny day.

This one definitely grows on you - a beautiful wash of warm, herbal goodness. The bergamot note takes centre stage but the surrounding composition is sunny, blurry and earthy. Like a rural Italian spa. Reasonable longevity and sillage - I personally thought it would be an ideal unisex choice although I can see it is harsher and earthier than most "feminine" summer scents.

Superb. A beautiful rich blast of citrussy sunshine that the colour of its packaging well represents. As to people's comparisons with toilet cleaner or cleaning fluid, when hasn't a citrus fragrance been compared to that. Decent longevity. Beautiful. Lives up to it's name!

As a man, i like the bergamont and dry opening with the lavender. The patchouli througout the mid is lovely The sandelwood makes this shine in the end. I think its very smoorh composition like other Miller Harris. Love Etui Noir. My wife loves Scherzo and i love it on her.
