Bergamot

When I first smelled this in a local shop I immediately knew I had to have it at some point. It smelled like the most fresh and interesting bergamot I've smelled, a balance of super bright and clean with heavier notes thanks to the juniper. I might love it so much because of the juniper, since I grew up in a desert infested with what my dad always called the invasive junipers, often mistaken for cedars. The juniper is so strong that there is almost a petrichor element for me, reminding me of the dusty branches, freshly rained on. This scent also transforms a lot on me—there is about an hour where it gets super sweet like candy, maybe from the presence of lemon. Funnily, that subsides into a funky and surprising backbone for a bergamot scent, a resinous note I am beginning to pick out in many of my favorite perfumes, even ones that are far flung from this one. All in all, I think this is a unique bergamot, and a nice long-lasting one, too—took a shower on the first day after wearing it and it was still there on my arm after. I love it so much that it has become my very first full sized bottle after a year of learning about perfume and sampling scents—my daily scent has been found, at least for this season :)

My views are at odds with the poster below. This is a nuanced, incredibly real and fresh, high quality composition that stays with the wearer in a reminder that perfume can be art. And good art, can of course be simple. There is nothing synthetic-smelling about this perfume. It is a good-natured friend, extending to the wearer some love and light in the form of zingy, real bergamot zest, light aromatics and aldehydic sparkle.

I'm not that into freshies and bergamot forward scents but this one is really beautiful! Crisp, fresh, woody and very pleasant and calming. Unfortunately like most of Perfumer H perfumes I wish the performance was better.

It opens with a hint of white pepper, and within a minute or so it turns into a fresh lemon and bergamot scent, resting on a slightly sweet pine-tree base. In the dry-down the pepper stays present to me, very mildly. Faints quickly unfortunately (or maybe its just my sample). Lovely scent though: bright, clean and outdoorsy, with a crisp summer feel. Definitely unisex. I’m just not entirely sure I would want to wear it as a perfume.

from all the fragrances by perfumer H that i have smelled, this is (for now) my favorite, and also the only one that smells like its respective fragrance name, at least when you first spray it. this is a leafy green bergamot that fades into some sort of incense, not bad at all. 7/10
