Bergamot

Thanks to a great lady who manages the Tom Ford Counter at Bergdorf Goodman, I was able to sample this in Canada prior to shelling out a pretty penny for it- Worth EVERY SINGLE penny!!! Everything from the presentation to the opening to the drydown screams CLASS!!! Bergamot Extrait is superb chypre (Citrus top-notes, a middle centered on cistus labdanum, and a mossy-animalic base-note derived from oak moss and musks) - it is brilliant. It is fresh and sparkling like the morning sun on the Amalfi coast. The initial BLAST gives you that sumptuous Amalfi lemon coupled with bergamot, leaving you with a sharp somewhat soapy fresh citrus feeling..... In about half an hour, it settles into nothing but sweet Jasmine, musky undertones and I pick up just enough patchouli to give it that depth...... Roja said it best: "No one can touch us us in the quality of the raw materials"! Having tried this and being a proud owner...... I fully concur......

Im a big citrus fan and i own bottles or samples of many popular and high end citrus fragrances like Nio, 1861 and B22 etc. Bergamot Extrait is not really a juicy, summer, bottle full of sunshine, bergamot scent. I really can't compare it to only ONE fragrance, but it has traits from many other fragrances that i like - for instance Therre d'Hermes, Erolfa, Original Vetiver, Bigarade Concentree and Eau de Gloire. To sum it up - as far as citrus fragrances go, this is more of a grown up, cool, classy, dry and green citrus scent. It has its own niche among the top bergamot scents on the market.

@Mando: Sorry friend! I'm the proud owner of a 50ml bottle that I just purchased in the last month; and other than Le Labo''s Bergamote 22, I can honestly say, there's NOTHING better on the market........ I don't wish to sound like a know-it-all, but I've tried at least 25 frags driven by that Bergamot note..... "Lemony Pledge" is often an over used cliche that's just thrown around out there -often without any solid basis...... Roja Dove uses QUALITY RAW MATERIALS: taste & see the difference..... Cheers!

Bergamot Extrait is a gorgeous smooth soapy-citrus scent. It's such a shame it has been discontinued, because it's absolutely stunning.

love but stay only for 1h and its gone not worth it go with nio by xerjoff or le labo bergamot 22!
